IIT-Madras develops AI model to solve engineering problems

CHENNAI: The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M) on Monday said its researchers have developed algorithms that enable novel applications for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and deep learning to solve engineering problems. The researchers are going to establish a start-up to deploy their AI Software called'AISoft' to develop solutions to engineering problems in varied fields such as in thermal management, semiconductors, automobile, aerospace and electronic cooling applications. "We tested AIsoft and used it to solve such thermal management problems. We found it to be nearly million-fold faster compared to existing solutions currently used in the field," said Vishal Nandigana, Assistant Professor, Fluid Systems Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering. "Our AI works on any generalised rectilinear and curvilinear input geometry.
