ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an emerging technology which mimics human intelligence and makes things smarter. The AI can be applied on Antennas to bring out the results without much time consumption. The future of any area lies in the efficient amalgamation with AI. The research outputs also indicate that the introduction of AI in Antenna, produces significant improvements. This workshop introduces the key concepts and programming methods of AI, and its applications in Antenna Engineering. This workshop is funded by AICTE Training and Learning (ATAL) Academy, India
