“…In [28], Moulianitis proposed a new mechatronic index for the evaluation of alternatives. The proposed criteria that make up the mechatronic index were mainly extracted from the collective knowledge presented in the multi annual roadmap (MAR) for robotics in Europe [29] and adapted by considering the recent advancements in mechatronics.…”

“…Concept generation is the process where possible solutions to the design problem are realized based on design specifications and functions that the system/product must accomplish. In order for a generated concept to be considered a feasible solution to the design problem, the two following conditions must be satisfied: (a) the concept meets at least the minimum design specifications, and (b) it includes the necessary software and hardware components [28]. Concepts can be represented in different ways, such as sketches or flow diagrams, function hierarchies, textual notes, or table representations.…”

“…For the purposes of this chapter, the mechatronic abilities proposed by Moulianitis in [28] as criteria for the evaluation of mechatronic systems will be used in the exemplary case study. The criteria are based on the collective knowledge presented in the Multi Annual Roadmap (MAR) for Robotics in Europe [29].…”

“…Abilities provide a basis for setting performance metrics and for application providers to specify desired levels of system performance [29]. These ability levels are adapted to mechatronic criteria, and a scoring scale for concept evaluation with respect to these criteria is presented [28]. Different scaling types for scoring and evaluation of criteria have been proposed, and the dispute concerning the superiority among them has been discussed in [35].…”

The definition of the conceptual design phase has been expressed in many different phrasings, but all of them lead to the same conclusion. The conceptual design phase is of the highest importance during the design process, due to the fact that many crucial decisions concerning the progress of the design need to be taken with very little to none information and knowledge about the design object. This implies to very high uncertainty about the effects that these decisions will have later on. During the conceptual design of a mechatronic system, the system to be designed is modeled, and several solutions (alternatives) to the design problem are generated and evaluated so that the most fitting one to the design specifications and requirements is chosen. The purpose of this chapter is to mention some of the most widely used methods of system modeling, mainly through hierarchical representations of their subsystems, and also to present a method for the generation and evaluation of the design alternatives.

To minimize the number of iterations and correction returns while designing a system, sharing crucial parameters and data between different actors is needed. Since mechatronic systems are considered complex because of their multi-disciplines, their design requires collaborative work to ensure the sharing of parameters between contributors from different domains. This paper proposes a new methodology based on the collaborative design to choose the architecture of a mechatronic system. This methodology is structured around three main phases: the pre-collaboration phase, the collaboration phase and the postcollaboration phase. The proposed methodology has been validated by applying it on a mechatronic system called Electronic Throttle Body (ETB). In order to share the different established activities and capitalize knowledge, KARREN (Knowledge Acquisition and reuse for Robust Engineering) a collaborative tool from DPS (Digital Product Simulation) a French company, is used in this project to help us to choose the appropriate architecture of the Electronic Throttle Body.
