Jiho Research Group (ASML) explores next-generation manufacturing systems that integrate artificial intelligence, human-machine collaboration, and cyber-physical connectivity. Our research focuses on developing human-centric smart manufacturing (HCSM) frameworks by leveraging explainable and generative AI, digital twins, and autonomous robotics. These approaches aim to enhance the adaptability, scalability, and sustainability of manufacturing systems while addressing practical challenges in real-world shop floor environments. ASML actively collaborates across disciplines, including data science, control engineering, and industrial automation, to create intelligent and resilient solutions for future manufacturing.
