• Abstract: Creating a design from modular components necessitates three steps: Acquiring knowledge about available components, conceiving an abstract design concept, and implementing that concept in a concrete design. The third step entails many repetitive and menial tasks, such as inserting parts and creating joints between them. Especially when comparing and implementing design alternatives, this issue is compounded. We propose a use-case agnostic knowledge-driven framework to automate the implementation step. In particular, the framework catalogues the acquired knowledge and the design concept, as well as utilizes Combinatory Logic Synthesis to synthesize concrete design alternatives. This minimizes the effort required to create designs, allowing the design space to be thoroughly explored. We implemented the framework as a plugin for the CAD software Autodesk Fusion 360. We conducted a case study in which robotic arms were synthesized from a set of 28 modular components. Based on the case study, the applicability of the framework is analyzed and discussed.

  We introduce SYNTHIA, a framework for generating novel, functionally coherent designs based on desired affordances. We develop a curriculum learning scheme based on our ontology that contrast fine-tunes T2I models to progressively learn affordance composition. Experimental results show that SYNTHIA outperforms state-of-the-art T2I models.

  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 FALCON, an efficient sample-based method to search for the optimal model design. FALCON features 1) a task-agnostic module, which performs message passing on the design graph via a Graph Neural Network (GNN), and 2) a task-specific module, which conducts label propagation of the known model performance information. We empirically show that FALCON can efficiently obtain the well-performing designs for each task using only 30 explored nodes.
