This article introduces an innovative design automation method aimed at systematically exploring and categorizing various 3D spatial layouts within interconnected engineering systems, encompassing diverse applications such as automotive cooling systems and building HVAC designs.
In our modern world, complex systems such as power grids, transportation networks, and communication systems can be disrupted by both internal uncertainties and external factors like natural disasters. To make these systems more resilient, researchers have been working on design strategies that improve both reliability and recovery capabilities.
This article explores a vision of a holistic SPI2 design approach needed to develop next-generation automated design methods that dramatically reduce the time needed to design SPI2 systems and to increase the complexity of designable systems.

The shape optimization of microstructural cells is investigated in this paper. Microstructure optimization yields the design of an architected material with a desired material property.
The availability of big data has made the role of digital twins in manufacturing more prominent.
Soft locomotion robots are intrinsically compliant and have a large number of degrees of freedom.
Periodic cellular structures with excellent mechanical properties widely exist in nature.
From smartphones to electric cars, lithium-ion batteries allow us power our favorite devices. When used in our homes, they allow us to store cheap electricity for later use.
Co-design is the integrated optimization of the physical plant and controller for an engineering system. The challenge in co-design is determining both time-invariant (physical design) variables and time-variant (control) variables.
