Conference Proceeding
Vasantha, G., Aslan, A., Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Thomas, S. (2024). Movement Tracking-Based In-Situ Monitoring System for Additive Manufacturing. In Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing: Establishing Bridges for More Sustainable Manufacturing Systems. Proceedings of FAIM 2023, June 18–22, 2023, Porto, Portugal, Volume 1: Modern Manufacturing (388-398). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38241-3_44

Monitoring and identification of defects during additive manufacturing is mostly done by bespoke optical or acoustic measurement systems. These in-situ monitoring technologies are either intrusive or sensitive to noisy manufacturing environments. We...

Evolving planar mechanisms for the conceptual stage of mechanical design (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Paechter, B. (2019). Evolving planar mechanisms for the conceptual stage of mechanical design. In GECCO '19: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion (383-384). https://doi.org/10.1145/3319619.3322006

This study presents a method to evolve planar mechanism prototypes using an evolutionary computing approach. Ultimately, the idea is to provide drafts for designers at the conceptual design stage of mechanism design which meet their design brief. The...

2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Lapok, P., Lawson, A., & Paechter, B. (2019). 2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms. In H. Rodrigues, J. Herskovits, C. Mota Soares, A. Araújo, J. Guedes, J. Folgado, …J. Madeira (Eds.), EngOpt 2018 Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Engineering Optimization (926-937). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-97773-7_80

In this paper, we investigate the ability of genetic representation methods to describe two-dimensional outline shapes, in order to use them in a generative design system. A specific area of mechanical design focuses on planar mechanisms. These are a... Read More about 2-Dimensional Outline Shape Representation for Generative Design with Evolutionary Algorithms.

Evaluation of a genetic representation for outline shapes (2017)
Conference Proceeding
