Proposes a generative design framework for robotic manipulators
Integrates Physical AI to bridge data-driven models with real-world behavior
Key idea:
Automatically generate manipulator designs from task requirements
Framework:
Generative design using surrogate models
Multi-objective optimization: Kinematic and Dynamic performance
Adaptive sampling for data-efficient learning
Physical AI realization:
Selected optimal designs are realization as prototypes
Users can control the manipulator via a mobile application
Contributions:
Generative Design + Physical AI + Real-world validation
Establishes an end-to-end autonomous design-to-deployment pipeline
AI-based modular design optimization strategy for large-scale systems
Key idea:
Replace one-to-one design with modular design (group-based strategy)
Core questions addressed:
How many groups are needed?
How many systems per group?
Framework:
Multi-objective optimization with adaptive grouping strategy
Identification of cost saturation point
Iterative search for optimal number of groups
Results:
Maximized scalability
Reduced design complexity and cost
Identification of a “utopia region” balancing performance and efficiency
Compact design of a soft wearable robot for ankle assistance
Optimization of a Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) for precise assistive force
Lookup-table-based control algorithm with validation through a 6-minute walking test
