• abstract = "This research has explored a new automated approach for synthesizing designs for mechatronic systems. By taking advantage of genetic programming as a search method for competent designs and the bond graph as a representation for mechatronic systems, we have created a design environment in which open-ended topological search can be accomplished in a semi-automated and efficient manner and the design process thereby facilitated. By incorporating specific design considerations the method can be used to explore design space of special types of mechatronic systems such as robotic systems. The paper illustrates the process of using this approach in detail through a typewriter redesign problem. Bond graphs have proven to be an effective tool for both modelling and design in this problem. Also a special form of GP, Hierarchical Fair Competition-GP, has been shown to be capable of providing a diversity of competing designs with great efficiency. Our long-term target in this research is to design an integrated and interactive synthesis framework for mechatronic systems that covers the full spectrum of design processes, including customer needs analysis, product development, design requirements and constraints, automated synthesis, design verification, and life-cycle considerations.",
