Welcome


Welcome to the Advanced Intelligent Manufacturing Laboratory (AIM) at Northwestern University led by Prof. Ping Guo.

Our group aims to bring innovations to precision engineering by pushing the limit of precision manufacturing and expanding the boundary of intelligent metrology by deep learning-enabled computer vision technologies. We will enhance fundamental understandings of new process mechanics and principles; achieve technological advances in machine tool design and control; and explore novel applications in advanced manufacturing.
