Leveraging Robust Artificial Intelligence for Mechatronic Product Development—A Literature Review

Mechatronic product development is a complex and multidisciplinary field that encompasses various domains, including, among others, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control theory and software engineering. The integration of artificial intelligence technologies is revolutionizing this domain, offering opportunities to enhance design processes, optimize performance, and leverage vast amounts of knowledge. However, human expertise remains essential in contextualizing information, considering trade-offs, and ensuring ethical and societal implications are taken into account. This paper therefore explores the existing literature regarding the application of artificial intelligence as a comprehensive database, decision support system, and modeling tool in mechatronic product development. It analyzes the benefits of artificial intelligence in enabling domain linking, replacing human expert knowledge, improving prediction quality, and enhancing intelligent control systems. For this purpose, a consideration of the V-cycle takes place, a standard in mechatronic product development. Along this, an initial assessment of the AI potential is shown and important categories of AI support are formed. This is followed by an examination of the literature with regard to these aspects. As a result, the integration of artificial intelligence in mechatronic product development opens new possibilities and transforms the way innovative mechatronic systems are conceived, designed, and deployed. However, the approaches are only taking place selectively, and a holistic view of the development processes and the potential for robust and context-sensitive artificial intelligence along them is still needed.

HV Process Model of Software Development

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is one of the major ingredients for the development of efficient software systems within a time frame and low-cost involvement. From the literature, it is evident that there are various kinds of process models that are used by the software industries for the development of small, medium and long-term software projects, but many of them do not cover risk management. It is quite obvious that the improper selection of the software development process model leads to failure of the software products as it is time bound activity. In the present work, a new software development process model is proposed which covers the risks at any stage of the development of the software product. The model is named a Hemant-Vipin (HV) process model and may be helpful for the software industries for development of the efficient software products and timely delivery at the end of the client. The efficiency of the HV process model is observed by considering various kinds of factors like requirement clarity, user feedback, change agility, predictability, risk identification, practical implementation, customer satisfaction, incremental development, use of ready-made components, quick design, resource organization and many more and found through a case study that the presented approach covers many of parameters in comparison of the existing process models. .

复杂产品系统研发过程风险研究综述

复杂产品系统(CoPS)的研发过程具有高度的不确定性和复杂性,涉及诸多风险因素,众多学者针对相关风险进行研究、提供对CoPS研发风险管理的深刻洞见,以期提高CoPS研发成功率。因此,梳理89篇来自Web of Science、中国知网等数据库1998年至2023年间国内外CoPS研发过程风险研究相关文献,从风险管理、风险生成和风险传播3个视角,对CoPS研发过程的风险研究工作进行归纳。结果显示在CoPS风险研究领域,风险管理的相关研究最广泛,文献数量从1998年开始逐渐增加,数量占比为78%,是领域内主要研究方向;风险生成相关研究受关注较少,文献数量占比为11%且在发表时间上较为分散,除2015年与2018年外每年不多于1篇;风险传播相关研究首篇文献发表于2013年,近年来受到持续关注,文献数量占比为11%。其中,风险管理相关研究主要从风险识别、风险评估、风险应对及风险控制4个核心环节进行展开,揭示在CoPS研发过程中如何通过多种方法有效识别并应对潜在风险;风险生成相关研究主要针对利益相关者的违约风险、技术风险等探究相关风险生成路径,并对风险因素间的相互作用进行初步探索;风险传播相关研究则分析揭示有关风险是如何在项目的不同阶段和部门间传播。同时可见,当前风险管理研究主要聚焦于单一风险因素的探讨,缺少系统地对CoPS研发过程中的流程或生命周期的风险识别、控制与应对的研究;风险生成研究缺乏对风险耦合产生风险事件机制的深入研究;风险传播研究在一定程度上忽视了风险因素间的动态影响,且相关案例数据的支撑不足。基于此,从研究内容、研究方法角度以及考虑当前及未来的外部宏观环境影响等方面,提出未来可进一步探讨的研究方向。

In addition, role allocation and feedback revision process are realized in optimization module. The simulation example is a part of a certain product development process, and the results show the feasibility of the algorithm.

Integrated Multi-view Modeling for the Product Development Process

Concurrent engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to integrate concurrent design of products and their related processes. Its objective is to shorten product life cycle, improve product quality and reduce product cost. Modeling the concurrent engineering product development process (CEPDP) is a key part of this process which has attracted the attention of researchers and engineers around the world. This paper focuses on a newly developed and potentially powerful CEPDP modeling philosophy——integrated multi view modeling (IMVM), by which managers can foresee the evolution of a product from its conception to its disposal and consider all the important factors in its production before a project is launched. CEPDP/IMVM is a product oriented modeling method. A modeling environment is used to establish a systematic model including different aspects of the process such as product information, development activities, enterprise resources, and organizational structure. The integration within an IMVM model should accurately reflect the PDPs dynamic characteristics and provide necessary information for monitoring and coordinating processes.
