Building from the momentum of the recent Special Issue in the ASME Journal of Mechanical Design and webinar, our workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with interest and expertise related to emerging technologies and methods for early-stage product design and development. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented/virtual/mixed reality, and cloud computing are driving major transformations in the way we design new products. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and technology providers to discuss current progress and future opportunities to conduct research at this frontier.
The workshop will progress through “past, present and future” contributions to this topic, with discussions from the authors and organizers of the JMD Special Issue, as well as opportunities for participants to share their progress, build connections, and launch new collaborations.
