• Abstract: The use of evolutionary methods in design and art is increasing in diversity and popularity. Approaches to using these methods for creative production typically focus either on optimisation or exploration. In this paper we introduce an evolutionary system for design that combines these two approaches, enabling users to explore landscapes of design alternatives using design-oriented measures of fitness, along with their own aesthetic preferences. We test our methods using a biologically-inspired generative system capable of producing 3D objects that can be exported directly as 3D printing toolpath instructions. For the search stage of our system we combine the use of the CMA-ES algorithm for optimisation and linear interpolation between generated objects for feature exploration. We investigate the system`s capabilities by evolving highly fit artefacts and then combining them with aesthetically interesting ones.

• Understanding fitness landscapes in morpho-evolution via local optima networks [0.1843404256219181]
  Morpho-evolution (ME) refers to the simultaneous optimisation of a robot's design and controller to maximise performance given a task and environment. Previous research has provided empirical comparisons between encodings in terms of their performance with respect to an objective function and the diversity of designs that are evaluated, however there has been no attempt to explain the observed findings. We investigate the structure of the fitness landscapes induced by three different encodings when evolving a robot for a locomotion task, shedding new light on the ease by which different fitness landscapes can be traversed by a search process.

• Compositional Generative Inverse Design [69.22782875567547]
  Inverse design, where we seek to design input variables in order to optimize an underlying objective function, is an important problem. We show that by instead optimizing over the learned energy function captured by the diffusion model, we can avoid such adversarial examples. In an N-body interaction task and a challenging 2D multi-airfoil design task, we demonstrate that by composing the learned diffusion model at test time, our method allows us to design initial states and boundary shapes.

  We propose a novel object-centric reinforcement learning algorithm combining actor-critic and model-based approaches. We use a transformer encoder to extract object representations and graph neural networks to approximate the dynamics of an environment. Our algorithm performs better in a visually complex 3D robotic environment and a 2D environment with compositional structure than the state-of-the-art model-free actor-critic algorithm.

• How does agency impact human-AI collaborative design space exploration? A case study on ship design with deep generative models [0.0]
  generative models provide a solution by leveraging existing designs to create compact yet diverse generative design spaces (GDSs) We first construct a GDS using a generative adversarial network, trained on 52,591 designs of various ship types. Next, we constructed three modes of exploration, random (REM), semi-automated (SAEM) and automated (AEM) Our results revealed that REM generates the most diverse designs, followed by SAEM and AEM. However, the SAEM and AEM produce better-performing designs.
