AI-Driven Manufacturing & Space Systems: Design, Optimization, and Research Challenges (Space Technology & Research Engineering Series Book 8)
About
AI-Driven Manufacturing Space Systems explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the design, manufacturing, and operation of advanced aerospace and space systems. This book bridges mechanical engineering, additive manufacturing, robotics, and AI to address the unique challenges of extreme and space environments.Covering topics such as intelligent manufacturing, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), physics-informed AI, digital twins, autonomous robotics, and humanAI collaboration, the book emphasizes real engineering constraints including data scarcity, uncertainty, safety, and certification. Rather than focusing on algorithms alone, it presents AI as a systems-level tool grounded in physical understanding and engineering responsibility.Designed for researchers, graduate students, and practicing engineers, this book also outlines open research challenges and provides a clear roadmap for doctoral research in AI-driven manufacturing and space systems. It serves as both a technical reference and a foundation for future research and innovation.
Why it’s great
This is a deliberately ambitious read for the teen who's hungry for one. It examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way advanced parts get designed and built for flight and space, touching on digital twins, smart robotics, and more. Demanding as it is, it opens a window on tomorrow's workshop — people and intelligent systems building together for the harshest places imaginable, the frontier NASA is actively exploring.
