Abstract

This ~~r briefly reports on the current architecture and status of EDISON, a computer mode_l l?eing designed to . ( 1) understand natural language descnpttons of mechanical devices and (2) generate novel device representations through heuristic strategies of mutation and analogy. The representational constructs in EDISON must support both of these tasks and include: goal/plan informatton, _spatial relationship!!, forces, motion, contact1 regions, constrrunts on (al)d principle~ on device operatio~. levels of abstraction, and nruve mectiarucs dependencies and mferences.
