Computation and Pre-Parametric Design
(1988-09-01)My work is broadly concerned with the question "How can designs bessynthesized computationally?" The project deals primarily with mechanical devices and focuses on pre-parametric design: design at the level of detail ... -
Design Considerations for an Earth-Based Flexible Robotic System
(1989-03-01)This paper provides insights into the problems of designing a robot with joint and link flexibility. The relationship between the deflection of the robot under gravity is correlated with the fundamental frequency of ... -
The Effect of Transmission Design on Force-Controlled Manipulator Performance
(1988-04-01)Previous research in force control has focused on the choice of appropriate servo implementation without corresponding regard to the choice of mechanical hardware. This report analyzes the effect of mechanical properties ... -
Intelligent Assistance for Program Recognition, Design, Optimization, and Debugging
(1989-01-01)A recognition assistant will help reconstruct the design of a program, given only its source code. A design assistant will assist a programmer by detecting errors and inconsistencies in his design choices and by ... -
Learning by Failing to Explain
(1986-05-01)Explanation-based Generalization requires that the learner obtain an explanation of why a precedent exemplifies a concept. It is, therefore, useless if the system fails to find this explanation. However, it is not ... -
The Performance of a Mechanical Design 'Compiler'
(1989-01-01)A mechanical design "compiler" has been developed which, given an appropriate schematic, specifications, and utility function for a mechanical design, returns catalog numbers for an optimal implementation. The compiler ... -
Segmentation and Alignment of Speech and Sketching in a Design Environment
(2003-02-01)Sketches are commonly used in the early stages of design. Our previous system allows users to sketch mechanical systems that the computer interprets. However, some parts of the mechanical system might be too hard or too ...
