Combined with machine learning, automated systems on the factory floor are possible today. In this episode, I talk to Shahar Zuler, a data scientist and machine learning engineer at Siemens. We discuss the uses of computer vision in factories and explore exciting AI techniques that we are employing with our tools to design, realize and optimize factory equipment. We discuss the very latest technique called 6D pose estimation which stands to revolutionize robotics on the assembly line by solving age-old problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"embed-megaphone\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=TLFIE9820232731\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><!-- Megaphone -->\n\n\n<div class=\"row podcast-social\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-2\"><p>Listen on:<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"col\">\n        <a class=\"button itunes-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/ai-spectrum\/id1551252883\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iTunes<\/a><a class=\"button google-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzL2FpLXNwZWN0cnVt\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Podcasts<\/a><a class=\"button spotify-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1bXAfEPL6mtIydRewlSBPh\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spotify<\/a><a class=\"button stitcher-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/show\/ai-spectrum\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stitcher<\/a><a class=\"button tunein-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Technology-Podcasts\/AI-Spectrum-p1404051\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TuneIn<\/a><a class=\"button amazon-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/AI-Spectrum-Podcast\/B08K56PYDC\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><a class=\"button rss-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/feeds.acast.com\/public\/shows\/6012e57e14e6ee573d6b6866\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RSS<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you will learn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How AI is impacting the industrial industry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The unique challenges of employing AI\/ML in the industrial environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different tasks of computer vision machine learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to train an object detection model<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How synthetic images are used in ML model training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to validate synthetic data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The benefits of partnerships between Siemens and their customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2021\/07\/Shahar_photo.jpg\" alt=\"Shahar Zuler - Guest\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Shahar Zuler &#8211; Guest<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>I am a Data Scientist and Machine Learning engineer at Siemens Digital Industries Software, where I connect between advanced robotics simulation and Artificial Intelligence.
