Abstract
Genetic programming has proved its potential for automated synthesis of a variety of engineering systems such as electrical, control, and mechanical systems. Given any of these application domains, a set of generic GP functions can be developed for its synthesis. In this chapter, however, we illustrate that while a generic GP system can often be used to prove a concept, realistic or industrial automated synthesis often requires domain-specific GP configuration, especially of the GP function sets. As a case study, it is shown how the open-ended topology search capability of GP readily exploits “loopholes” in a generic bond-graph-based GP function set and evolves high-performance but unrealistic mechanical vibration absorbers, even though the bond graphs would be readily implementable in, for example, the electrical domain. The preliminary attempt to constrain evolved topologies to only those that would be readily implementable in the mechanical domain was not sufficiently restrictive.
