An Intelligent Human-Computer Collaborative Method for Creative Design

Abstract:

Two intelligent models for creative thinking, which are conceptual restructuring and space exploration, are studied based on artificial intelligent and cognitive psychology. The characteristics of the models and their applications are analyzed. A human-computer collaborative creative model is presented, which combines the nonlogical creation typified by conceptual restructuring, and logic creation typified by space exploration on the basis of visualization. The human-computer collaborative model for product creative design is also proposed, and the key technologies for realizing the human-computer collaboration for creative design are provided. A prototype system of car body design is developed to testify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
