That Cyber-Hans thing is already happening in industry. It was already happening 15 years ago. At least that's the first time I saw something like this for a device that would find out if roof shingles had a defect by tapping it acoustically. They had a Hans doing it previously that would knock them and listen, and they replaced it with a Cyber-Hans.
In this case it wasn't a neural net, I think it was simple multiple linear regression + Fourier Transform.

- carlmr 8y agoThat's really cool!
- B1FF_PSUVM 8y agoI think there are movies, with train platform scenes, where you can see the railway guy going by with a mallet, giving the wheels a light tap and listening to the sound.
- jacquesm 8y agoI use a similar trick with bike wheels, when re-spoking or checking a wheel for integrity I strum the spokes. Good rim and tight spokes sound different than broken rim or loose or overstressed spokes. The difference is easily noticeable.
