The International Conference on AI-Driven Engineering Design & Automation (ICAD-ED), organized by Zigma Medicare India Pvt Ltd, serves as a premier forum for exploring the transformative integration of advanced artificial intelligence techniques—such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), diffusion models, Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), and reinforcement learning—into engineering design and automation paradigms. By addressing critical challenges in topology optimization, multi-objective parametric design, predictive digital twinning, autonomous robotic manipulation, and real-time control systems enhanced through edge AI and explainable models, the conference highlights innovative applications in engineering and device prototyping, sustainable manufacturing, and Industry 5.0 frameworks.
