Scientists of St. Petersburg ITMO University have taught artificial intelligence to design industrial and port infrastructure for the Arctic zone.
The development allows to design spaces in minutes using generative technology to create a detailed plan of the future object, which takes into account building regulations, terrain features and harsh climatic conditions, the press service of the university reports.
The AI-Designer program is created, in particular, to help companies involved in the development of the Arctic zone to arrange buildings and transport routes so that they are not heavily covered with snow, as well as to choose parameters of ice protection structures that are safe for the ecosystem.
"The natural and climatic conditions and design principles in the Arctic are different from other regions - even if they are only a few degrees south of latitude. For example, there is more snow in the Arctic zone, which already requires different approaches in design — and this is not only the choice of the concept, planning, preparation of working documentation, but also modeling, optimization of the entire production chain. And at each of these stages, AI is able to avoid inaccuracies and offer optimal solutions," said Peter Tarasov, an expert in the Department of innovative projects on the shelf of the Arctic Research Center.
