Summary:The benefits of Industry 4.0 are limited by the large computational requirements of ever-larger digital models of complex production systems. A complementary learning paradigm is thus proposed to cultivate knowledge in a team of machines and humans that represents the key to a high-performance manufacturing system. Two types of knowledge are created using light-weighted neural networks and meta-learning: general knowledge of tasks and specific knowledge on collaboration with humans given few interactions. AI-based teaming strategies are designed to enable machines to leverage human expertise in making decisions using local communications that make intricate sensor systems and expensive computation unnecessary.
