Greetings Friends of Project Hope..!

But have you ever heard of artificial intelligence applications in the area of structural pathologies?

.- They act like a human being, through the integration of robotics that allow them to walk, talk, observe and even laugh.

.- They use logical/rational thinking like a human being, to the point that they can comment and respond and can also act rationally.

Simply put, this is how AI works

How is it applied in the area of structural pathologies?

• "Observe the damage"
• "Measure the dimensions of the damage as length, width or depth"
• "Identify the material of the structure" either concrete, structural steel or wood
• Then evaluate the “magnitude of the damage”, that is, how simple or how serious it is

The final process is summarized to take photographs that will be used to identify failures and provide solutions. But, although it seems very simple, the great work to get to create the application has not been described, because the most difficult thing is to create a neural network with the proper programming that allows the equipment or application to function in this way.

The great process of creating the neural network that will give life to the AI team or app is quite complex, but it is not difficult. The most important thing is to have the input data identified, that is, the information necessary to identify the existence of a problem, then it is necessary to know the process of evaluation or analysis of the problem and this procedure must also be translated into a programming language (algorithms ), finally, the mechanism or form in which the response will be issued and what are the types of response you wish to receive based on the evaluation carried out previously must be considered.

As an interesting fact I want to add, first this is not done by a single person, it requires a multidisciplinary team, taking as an example the case of structural pathologies, the team would be made up of civil engineers, systems engineers, computer scientists and programmers to begin with. But the most interesting thing is that currently there are software such as Matlab, Python, Orange, Dianne, among others, which are of great help to create artificial neural networks and you do not need to have great programming knowledge.

I always like to close a topic with a question or some ideas:

• Do you think artificial intelligence is of great help in identifying flaws in any process?
• Is the use of AI really useful in identifying and solving the faults that some buildings may present?
• Could artificial intelligence replace the good judgment and experience of a civil engineer?
