RI: Small: Collaborative Research: Why is Automating the Design of Robot Controllers Hard, and What Can Be Done About It

该项目旨在将过滤和规划的新技术结合起来，以改进机器人设计过程中使用的推理和分析步骤。通过了解设计过程中那些通常由手工执行的部分，并询问哪些部分实际上可以自动化，这项研究有可能帮助从业者扩大所解决的问题，自动优化系统，最终将设计师从低级细节中解放出来，并提高他们的时间利用率。

This project seeks to bring together new techniques for filtering and planning to improve reasoning and analysis steps employed during robot design.By understanding those parts of the design process that are typically conducted by hand and by asking which parts can be practically automated, the research has the potential to assist practitioners by scaling up the problems tackled, optimizing systems automatically, and ultimately freeing designers from low-level detail and elevating their use of time.
