About AI Cube

Deep in advanced manufacturing, decoding high-dimensional industrial time-series, creating value for intelligent manufacturing

AI³ · The Name

Three A·I's, Grown into a Cube

Why "AI Cube"?

All three pillars of the lab start with A·I — three A·I's multiplied is AI cubed (AI³). That is also the story behind the crystal cube on our homepage: three visible faces, one A·I each.

Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning — algorithms elevating manufacturing.

Augmented Informatics

Panoramic insight into high-dimensional time-series and multimodal data.

Advanced Industry

Semiconductors, EVs, electronics, heavy equipment — hands-on with real production lines.

What We Do

Three Research Thrusts

Combining big data, industrial AI, and physical mechanisms to solve key problems in complex manufacturing

Intelligent Process Monitoring

Virtual metrology, anomaly monitoring, process control — from offline sampling to full online inspection. Detects anomalies as small as 0.02mm in stamping.

Online Equipment Fault Diagnosis

Life-long learning and Bayesian deep learning for diagnosis, early warning, and RUL prediction. PHM 2025 Data Challenge world champion.

Real-time Production Optimization

Deep reinforcement learning and multi-objective optimization: from minute-level rescheduling to millisecond response.

Home Base

Backed by SYSU, Rooted in the Greater Bay Area

A Team Fluent in Both Worlds

PI Prof. Jianshe Feng served as CTO of Cinvergy, Director of Industrial AI at Foxconn Industrial Internet, and research scientist at General Motors — the lab has spoken both "academia" and "factory" from day one.

Institution

School of Advanced Manufacturing, Sun Yat-sen University — a new engineering school for national advanced-manufacturing needs.

Location

Room 518E, Science Park, SYSU Shenzhen Campus, 66 Gongchang Road, Guangming District, Shenzhen.

Industrial Soil

At the heart of the Greater Bay Area smart-manufacturing belt, collaborating closely with Xiaomi, CITIC Dicastal, Han’s Laser and more.
