Research Initiation Grant: Unifying Modeling, Kinematics and Dynamics For The Automatic Analysis of Machines

该研究启动奖将支持运动学和动力学的人工智能方法，包括机械系统的定性分析。萨克斯博士的系统将根据结构模型和适用力，推断和描述由刚性机械部件制成的简单机器的功能。一个研究目标是将Sack博士的二维相空间分析技术扩展到更高的维度。长期目标是工程设计和维护知识的自动化。

This Research Initiation Award will support an artificial intelligence approach to kinematics and dynamics, including qualitative analysis of mechanical systems. Dr. Sacks' system will infer and describe the functioning of simple machines, made from rigid mechanical parts, based on models of structure and applicable forces. One research goal is an extension of Dr. Sack's 2D phasespace analysis technique to higher dimensions. The longrange goal is automation of engineering design and maintenance knowledge.
