GUWAHATI: To advance greater penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the nation’s roads, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG) today announced the development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) – assisted engineering system design tool: Smart-Engineer.
The tool is built by its team comprising of Ph.D and Masters students – Rajendra Kumar, Bikash Sah, Ankit Vishway, and Rajendra Kumar – by leveraging IBM Watson AI platform and IBM cloud.
The ‘Smart-Engineer,’ built by the e-mobility lab (EML) at IIT Guwahati seeks to address one of the primary hurdles in indigenizing the EV technology, which is the lack of trained human resources in engineering design and system integration. A key challenge posed by EV technology is, “how can a pool of trained human resources with the technical know-how be created in the shortest possible time?” IIT Guwahati’s EML has been working towards addressing this critical challenge using AI.
