Abstract

This paper gives a short review on mechatronic design automation (MDA) whose optimization method is mainly based on evolutionary computation techniques. The recent progress and research results of MDA are summarized systematically, and the challenges and future research directions in MDA are also discussed. The concept of MDA is introduced first, research results and potential challenges of MDA are analyzed. Then future research directions, focusing on constrained multiobjective optimization, surrogate-assisted constrained multi-objective optimization, and design automation by integrating constrained multi-objective evolutionary computation and knowledge extraction, are discussed. Finally, we suggest that MDA has great potential, and may be the next big technology wave after electronic design automation (EDA).
