Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
In today's fast-paced world, many hot topics come and go, but Industry 4.0 stands out as one that's here to stay. You've probably heard about it, but what does it really mean? Well, it's all about the fusion of technology with our lives. Think about it: in the tech world, we're talking about blending the physical and virtual worlds. In the business world, it's all about new strategies for industries. And in culture, we're exploring how humans can thrive together. Industry 4.0 is already changing the way we live (just look at how everyone's always glued to their smartphones!). And it's only going to bring more changes in the future. This course is all about getting a grip on Industry 4.0. We'll cover what it is, how it's shaking up manufacturing, and we'll even dive into some real-life examples. Plus, you'll get your hands dirty with cool stuff like controlling machines, designing sensors, and making minicars with fancy tech. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid understanding of Industry 4.0 and how it's shaking up tech, business, and society.
Results/Contributions

This course primarily focuses on theoretical introductions, emphasizing interdisciplinary development between "humanities and technology" and "AI, 5G, and digital transformation," delving into the impacts of technological advancements on humanity. Given the rapidly changing nature of technology, students are encouraged to participate in domestic and international seminars and business exhibitions to understand how global technological trends affect competition between nations and alter people's social lives.

Furthermore, to provide students with a practical understanding of smart manufacturing, collaborative efforts with other instructors have led to the development of a "self-driving car system." This system incorporates elements discussed in class, such as big data, sensors, unmanned vehicles, and mechanical processing and manufacturing systems. The structural design primarily utilizes LiDAR systems to detect the surrounding environment. Originally planned for presentation at the end-of-term exhibition, the system aims to provide students with practical understanding and observation opportunities. It is hoped that through this video demonstration and explanation, students can gain a deeper understanding of future trends in smart manufacturing and use it as a reference for their personal career development.
