... an obvious misfit. Therefore, the aforementioned three approaches are not ideal for addressing the design engineer’s key question; how should the design be changed to improve robustness and failure rates. The present study builds upon the existing robust and reliability-based design optimization ( R 2 BDO...

... for knowledge acquisition of the task field and social rules. Learning stability, functional differentiation, and robustness properties of this learning approach were investigated with respect to the changing team sizes and task variations. Through computer simulation studies of a box-pushing problem...
