arXiv:2606. 28126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This article addresses the combinatorial complexity inherent in modern high-tech system design by presenting automation-in-design (AiD) as a transformative paradigm.
AI agents that generate final answers based on user input often do not meet the needs of creative fields. Fields such as structural design and architecture need interactive systems that help users externalise and develop ideas, explore alternatives, and refine partial solutions.
Researchers developed an automated framework that helps AI models generate CAD programs more accurately and efficiently.

The article discusses how large language models (LLMs) are transforming electronic design automation (EDA) by moving beyond isolated task assistance to a hierarchical framework of roles: Generator, Agent, and Orchestrator. It highlights that current LLM-based solutions often produce plausible but not physically correct hardware, suffer from fragmented tools, and lose design context, which hampers scalability to industrial designs. The authors argue for a standardized, physics-aware Orchestrator that integrates tools and agents across the EDA flow to improve reliability and accessibility of hardware design.

AI Control Scientist (AICS) is a large language model–driven agent that automatically generates optimized controllers from language design requirements. It comprises a Task Modeling Agent that translates user needs into engineering constraints, a Controller Design Agent that produces candidate controller structures and code, and a Parameter Tuning Agent that refines parameters to meet closed‑loop performance criteria. Experiments show AICS outperforms existing automated baselines in design success rate and optimization efficiency, enabling the creation of multiple representative control systems.
arXiv:2607. 09616v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As chip complexity increases and time-to-market pressures grow, front-end design has become a critical bottleneck in chip development.
The paper introduces AI Control Scientist (AICS), a large language model–driven agent that automatically generates optimized controllers from language design requirements. AICS consists of a Task Modeling Agent that translates user needs into engineering constraints, a Controller Design Agent that produces candidate controller structures and code, and a Parameter Tuning Agent that refines parameters to meet closed‑loop performance criteria. Experiments show that AICS outperforms existing automated baselines in design success rate and optimization efficiency, demonstrating its potential to shift control system design from human‑driven to agent‑driven approaches.

TO-Agents is a multi‑agent AI framework that translates natural‑language design intent into iterative topology optimization. It converts a human problem description into solver inputs, runs the optimizer, renders 3D topologies, and employs a judge agent to critique and revise results using multiview vision‑language reasoning. Evaluated on a cantilever beam and a phone‑stand design, the system achieved preference‑aligned designs in 60% of trials, outperforming an ablated pipeline by up to six times and enabling end‑to‑end intent‑to‑prototype design with additive manufacturing.
