Role of D-Robots in Designing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of robots in the manufacturing industry is very much accepted, but not in designing. The concept of Design Robot (D-Robot) is proposed and the role of D-Robots is analyzed. D in D-Robots refers to Design, including a series of design activities. The concept of D-Robots combines characters of industrial robots, agents and multiobjective optimization. A D-Robot is a software entity capable of perceiving the current design space and elaborating it by transforming current attributes into more specific attributes based on both reasoning on domain rules and its preference. The role of the D-Robot is to execute specific tasks in designing.
