Title

Computer automated design: an artificial intelligence approach


Speaker

Marco Menapace


Abstract

Design of complex products represents a challenge in many application fields. Decisions are typically driven by experience, performance constraints and costs. Methods and tools for design automation represents a viable solution to such complex decision problem, giving 

also the possibility to optimize the performance of the final product on particular context-driven aspects. Artificial intelligence algorithms can help in dealing with complexity and enhance the current tools by supplying solutions in feasible time.

The seminar will focus on three different techniques applied to a particular mechanical design problem, presenting some preliminary results.
