Comprehensive guide to streamlining the design optimization process of intelligent robots using MODENA (MOdular DEsigN Automation) Modular Design Automation of Intelligent Robot Systems introduces MODENA (MOdular DEsigN Automation) as a new approach to the design of intelligent robots by harnessing computational intelligence techniques like genetic programming and constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. It also covers different aspects of robot design, including physical structure, control, and vision systems. Case studies are included throughout the text to aid in the practical application of concepts. The book also provides information on: • Methods in the design automation of electronic systems, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), complex mechatronic systems, and intelligent robotic systems • MODENA's advantage in avoiding the frequent trial-and-error processes inherent in traditional design methods, instead promoting the automatic discovery of innovative designs • MODENA as a more interpretable alternative to supplement ChatGPT and other generative AI based on LLMs • Automated design of intelligent robotic systems like teaching manipulators, mechanical printers, and quarter-car suspensions as well as swarm robotic systems Modular Design Automation of Intelligent Robot Systems is an excellent reference on the subject for professionals, researchers, and students in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence.
