Abstract

This paper reviews the recent use of genetic programming to automatically synthesise human-competitive designs of complex structures in six engineering domains, namely analogue electrical circuits, optical lens systems, controllers, antennas, mechanical systems, and quantum computing circuits. First, the paper identifies common features observed in the human-competitive results produced by genetic programming in the six domains and suggests possible explanations for the observed similarities. Second, the paper identifies the characteristics that make a particular domain amenable to the application of genetic programming for the automatic synthesis of designs. Third, the paper discusses certain domain-specific adjustments in technique that may increase the efficiency of the automated process in a particular domain. Fourth, the paper discusses several technique issues that have arisen in more than one domain.
