TY - CONF T1 - A Framework for Conceptual Design of Multiple Interaction-State Mechatronic Systems Y1 - 2004 A1 - Gupta,S.K. A1 - Xu,C. A1 - Yao,Z. AB - Increasingly, complex mechatronic systems are beingdesigned to have higher levels of autonomy and intelligence. This requires them to operate in multiple interaction-states. To facilitate computer- aided conceptual design of complex mechatronic systems, this paper provides a framework for modeling design concepts behind mechatronic systems with multiple interaction-states. We introduce the primitives and operators used in the modeling framework, and illustrate the modeling process by an example.
