Employees of the Center for Artificial Intelligence of Novosibirsk State University have begun to create a digital twin of the infrastructure management systems of the science city of Koltsovo. The first project, the prototype of which should be presented this summer, will be a digital assistant for preparing the public utilities of the science city for the heating season. This was reported by Igor Boldyrev, Deputy Director of the NSU Center for Artificial Intelligence.
— Our cooperation is developing within the framework of the agreement between Koltsovo and NSU, the leadership of the science city set us a number of tasks, in the solution of which artificial intelligence technologies could help. And to date, we have advanced the furthest in cooperation with the enterprises of the city housing and communal services, namely in the area of preparing the municipality for the beginning of the heating season, — he explained.
At present, following a series of working meetings, a technical assignment has been formed for the team of developers of the NSU Center for Information Technologies, which determines what tasks their digital assistant should solve.
First of all, preparation for the heating season involves following certain protocols, including collecting information and preparing relevant documentation, all within strictly specified timeframes.
“This work fits completely into our concept of a digital twin of the SIGMA control system, which is one of the central developments of the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center,” Igor Boldyrev emphasized.
In addition, NSU Center for Information Technologies and Communications specialists propose using their competencies in the field of creating systems for monitoring the state of the heating system and forecasting possible accidents and heat leaks, also integrating its work with a digital assistant. This will further increase the efficiency of both preparation for the heating season and its implementation.
The university notes that virtually all municipalities in our country face similar challenges, and after testing on the Koltsovo infrastructure, the solutions created can be offered for widespread implementation in other populated areas.
— Now the Center is entering a stage where we are moving from theoretical work to creating specific digital products and services based on this research, which involve the use of artificial intelligence in urban management and the construction industry. Let me remind you that the practical application of our developments was one of the key conditions for opening the center. And the science city of Koltsovo was immediately considered as one of the main sites for the implementation of pilot projects, — noted Alexander Lyulko, Director of the NSU Center for Innovative Research.
The prototype of the digital assistant should be ready by the end of June, so that during the summer municipal enterprises of Koltsovo can test its operation and give appropriate assessments.
