Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method for generating a design object comprises generating a prompt within a design space generated by a design exploration application, wherein the prompt has a prompt definition that includes at least design intent text, and a prompt volume that occupies a portion of the design space and exerts a sphere of influence within the prompt volume, executing a trained machine learning (ML) model on the prompt to generate the design object, and displaying the design object within the prompt volume.

Abstract: A method and system control a water distribution network. A database is maintained of prior states based on a residential water demand, a tank level, and an energy tariff. A current state of the water distribution network is determined. Rewards are determined and include a tank level constraint, an energy cost, and a toggle count. A query based model is used to determine a set of control points used to control a first prior state. An RL agent is trained based on the prior states and rewards. The RL agent determines a control setpoint (that changes the pump speed) that maintains the tank level, minimizes the energy cost, and complies with the toggle count. The RL agent determines time slots and selects one of the time slots. Hybrid setpoints are generated to control the water distribution network within the selected time slot.

Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria and design objectives associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs that meet the design criteria and optimize the design objectives to varying degrees. The evaluation engine evaluates each candidate design to generate a set of metrics. The geometry engine modifies the candidate designs based on corresponding metrics to generate candidate designs that better meet the design criteria and more effectively achieve the design objectives.

Abstract: An urban design pipeline is configured to automatically generate design options that meet competing design objectives. A geometry engine within the urban design pipeline generates candidate designs for an urban design project. An evaluation engine within the urban design pipeline evaluates the degree to which each candidate design addresses the competing design objectives to produce a set of design metrics. A tradeoff engine within the urban design pipeline generates a design tradeoff space based on the candidate designs and corresponding design metrics. The tradeoff engine traverses the design tradeoff space based on performance modifications to adjust the degree to which the competing design objectives are addressed. The performance modifications can be obtained from any number of stakeholders in the urban design project. In this manner, the urban design pipeline generates and/or modifies candidate designs to generate design options that balance competing design objectives that potentially originate from multiple stakeholders.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for modeling assemblies using generative design techniques. The technique includes determining a portion of an assembly to model as a superelement and computing a mathematical model representing the superelement. The technique further includes eliminating one or more interior degrees of freedom from the mathematical model and computing a reduced stiffness matrix corresponding to the superelement by solving one or more equations associated with the mathematical model using an iterative sparse matrix solver.

Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria, design objectives, and design heuristics associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs. The design criteria specify a property boundary associated with a region of land to be developed. The design objectives indicate a specific type of topology that is derived from an existing urban layout. The design heuristics include different sets of construction rules for generating designs with specific types of topologies. The geometry engine generates candidate designs that conform to the property boundary and have topological characteristics in common with the existing urban layout.

Abstract: A robotic assembly cell is configured to generate a physical mesh of physical polygons based on a simulated mesh of simulated triangles. A control application configured to operate the assembly cell selects a simulated polygon in the simulated mesh and then causes a positioning robot in the cell to obtain a physical polygon that is similar to the simulated polygon. The positioning robot positions the polygon on the physical mesh, and a welding robot in the cell then welds the polygon to the mesh. The control application captures data that reflects how the physical polygon is actually positioned on the physical mesh, and then updates the simulated mesh to be geometrically consistent with the physical mesh. In doing so, the control application may execute a multi-objective solver to generate an updated simulated mesh that meets specific design criteria.

Abstract: A workstation enables operation of a 2D input device with a 3D interface. A cursor position engine determines the 3D position of a cursor controlled by the 2D input device as the cursor moves within a 3D scene displayed on a 3D display. The cursor position engine determines the 3D position of the cursor for a current frame of the 3D scene based on a current user viewpoint, a current mouse movement, a CD gain value, a Voronoi diagram, and an interpolation algorithm, such as the Laplacian algorithm. A CD gain engine computes CD gain optimized for the 2D input device operating with the 3D interface. The CD gain engine determines the CD gain based on specifications for the 2D input device and the 3D display. The techniques performed by the cursor position engine and the techniques performed by the CD gain engine can be performed separately or in conjunction.
