Overview
Engineers and scientists increasingly need to develop and test AI algorithms that work with live sensor data for applications in predictive maintenance, IoT and smart manufacturing. This workflow requires easy access to data acquired from data acquisition hardware, preprocessing of the acquired data to identify features, and a framework to train, test and deploy the AI algorithm. Join experts from MathWorks and NI to discuss two real-world sensor data acquisition applications focused on Artificial Intelligence and learn how MATLAB and NI tools can be used together to carry out the machine learning workflow. The webinar will highlight the following demos:
- Material Classification demo where live real-world sensor data captured from NI-DAQmx hardware is used to classify wood species based on signal analysis of vibrational characteristics.
- Speech Classification demo where a custom speech recognition algorithm is used to classify spoken words.
Attendees of the webinar will learn how MATLAB and Data Acquisition Toolbox can be used to acquire live sensor data from NI data acquisition hardware, how an AI algorithm can be developed and tested using MATLAB and the sensor data collected from the NI hardware, and how an AI algorithm developed in MATLAB can be called from a LabVIEW program.
