Outline

This paper presents INGRID (Intelligent Generative Robotic Design), a framework for the automated design of parallel robotic mechanisms, to overcome the limitations of existing approaches to integrating large-scale language models (LLMs) into robotic systems. INGRID decomposes the design task into four steps: constraint analysis, kinematic joint generation, chain configuration, and complete mechanism design, generating novel parallel mechanisms not previously described in the literature. By deeply integrating reciprocal screw theory and kinematic synthesis methods, INGRID designs parallel mechanisms with fixed and variable mobility. Three case studies demonstrate its ability to facilitate task-specific parallel robot design based on desired mobility requirements. This bridges the gap between machine learning and mechanism theory, enabling the generation of customized parallel mechanisms without specialized robotics training and decouples the development of robotic intelligence from hardware constraints. Ultimately, INGRID establishes a foundation for mechanism intelligence that actively designs robotic hardware, potentially revolutionizing the development of implemented AI systems.

Takeaways, Limitations
