Measurement, Automation, and Control in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
暫譯: 人工智慧與機器學習中的測量、自動化與控制

本書首先為讀者提供流程自動化的基本概念、流程自動化架構及其應用領域。作者接著展示人工智慧（AI）和機器學習（ML）如何增強這些領域。本書深入探討整合性流程自動化與控制工程（IPACE）的變革時代，旨在使讀者能夠利用工業4.0的力量。它超越了孤立的做法，將工業物聯網（IIoT）、AI、ML和數位雙胞胎等尖端技術與既有的流程自動化和控制原則結合起來。此外，作者分享了與這項技術的實務經驗，以及在交通、智慧家庭、製造/生產、可再生能源和農業等各個領域的應用。本書討論了新的技術進展、當前的研究趨勢和行業需求。本書作為流程自動化從業者、工程師、科學家、高管和學生的路線圖，激勵他們擁抱IPACE的機會與挑戰，並塑造工業自動化的未來。
