Agent-Based Paradigm for the Self-Configuration of a Conceptual Mechanical Assembly Modeling Application in Virtual Reality

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The immersive, multisensory experiences offered by virtual reality have been transformative across multiple disciplines, enhancing practical and theoretical skills while increasing user motivation and learning. On the other hand, multi-agent systems have proven to be effective in facilitating the expansion and modularity of computer systems. This paper presents an application developed in a virtual reality environment based on multi-agent systems for the conceptual design of mechanical assemblies from primitives. As a main novelty, the primitives can be defined by the user of the application from a set of models and images, and an Excel document, without the need for programming knowledge, taking advantage of the possibilities offered by multi-agent systems. In addition, for each primitive, it is possible to define a set of geometric and dimensional modifications, as well as a set of position relations with respect to other primitives to generate mechanical assemblies.
