Intelligent Systems Research

We build the next generation of manufacturing AI by unifying data‑driven learning with logic, physics, and causality. By embedding Signal Temporal Logic (STL) constraints and causal structure into the representation space, our models produce machine‑checkable rationales and calibrated uncertainty, enabling cross‑factory transfer and controller‑aware recommendations.

Pretrain on multimodal industrial data (time series, events, logs) with STL‑regularized objectives , causal priors from knowledge graphs, and physics‑consistent invariants . Dual formulations turn logic satisfaction into differentiable losses; distilled symbolic rules align human audit with closed‑loop control.

Cross‑site adaptation via knowledge‑based federated learning and domain‑invariant causal anchors. Rule distillation from embeddings to minimal STL clauses with margin guarantees. Controller‑aware heads that output safe set‑points and alarms aligned with contracts. Uncertainty quantification (e.g., conformal prediction) tied to logic satisfaction margins.

We engineer robot autonomy that is safe by construction and fast by design. Safety is specified up‑front as temporal logic contracts and embedded throughout planning, learning, and control. The result is dual‑arm and mobile manipulation that adapts to changing workcells while certifying task timing, force limits, and human–robot interaction rules.

A hierarchical stack where high‑level plans and low‑level controllers are synthesized and trained under STL specifications. Reference governors project actions onto contract‑satisfying manifolds; residual RL optimizes performance inside verified tubes. Runtime monitors provide certificate‑based intervention and graceful recovery.

Contract mining from expert procedures; automatic refinement to STL/contract forms. Certifiable motion primitives with compositional proofs of safety and timing. Vision–force multimodal policies trained with curriculum schedules respecting contracts. Online contract monitoring with recovery policies and formal violation explanations.

We move beyond alarms to actionable causality in Prognostics & Health Management. By coupling physics‑guided signal processing with causal graphs and temporal logic abstraction, we reconstruct fault propagation chains across components, systems, and fleets—turning heterogeneous data into interventions that save uptime, energy, and cost.

Fuse order/transfer‑path–aware features with causal discovery and do‑calculus–informed reasoning, then elevate events to STL templates that encode mechanism‑consistent signatures. Perform inference on a multi‑layer PHM knowledge graph to generate interventions (derating, maintenance windows) with transparent justifications.

Unified ontology linking events → mechanisms → actions across fleets and vendors. Robust feature extraction under variable regimes; virtual decoupling of mixed excitations. Domain generalization with causal invariants for cross‑asset transfer. Fleet‑level decision support: counterfactual simulation and cost‑aware maintenance policies with logic guarantees.
