Purpose and goal
To establish the foundation for a future Sweden–United States research and innovation partnership between RISE and U.S. stakeholders, aimed at co-developing advanced AI-driven methods for diagnostics, prognostics, health-state estimation, and predictive failure analysis for engineering applications in safety-critical systems.
Expected effects and result
The project is expected to result in a formalized collaboration framework between RISE and leading U.S. partners including defined roles, data-access conditions, and technical collaboration scope. In the long term, the collaboration is expected to reduce manual inspection effort, improve system reliability, extend component lifetime, and reduce material waste across aerospace, space, and manufacturing industries.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is carried out in three main phases. First, preparatory dialogues and information exchange with U.S. partners are conducted to clarify technical objectives and collaboration conditions. This is followed by an on-site visit to the United States, including meetings and technical workshops. Finally, outcomes are consolidated into a feasibility assessment, documented collaboration results, and a jointly developed Stage-2 proposal and implementation roadmap.
