Abstract
Environmental considerations are emerging as stimuli for innovation during the eco-design ideation process. Integrating TRIZ (Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatelskikh Zadatch─Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) methodology into eco-design offers a structured problem-solving approach to address sustainability challenges. However, developing innovative designs requires expertise in TRIZ concepts and access to resources, which makes it a time-consuming process and can limit its application for eco-design innovation quickly. This study leverages the analytical and generative capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to enhance the TRIZ methodology and automate the ideation process in eco-design. An intelligent tool, “Eco-innovate Assistant,” is designed to provide users with eco-innovative solutions with design sketches. Its effectiveness is validated and evaluated through comparative studies. The findings demonstrate the potential of LLMs in automating design processes, catalyzing a transformation in AI-driven innovation and ideation in eco-design.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Engineering Informatics is an international Journal that solicits research papers with an emphasis on 'knowledge' and 'engineering applications'. The Journal seeks original papers that report progress in applying methods of engineering informatics. These papers should have engineering relevance and help provide a scientific base for more reliable, spontaneous, and creative engineering decision-making. Additionally, papers should demonstrate the science of supporting knowledge-intensive engineering tasks and validate the generality, power, and scalability of new methods through rigorous evaluation, preferably both qualitatively and quantitatively. Abstracting and indexing for Advanced Engineering Informatics include Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and INSPEC.
