About
Dr. Zhiyong Ji is a leading figure in mechanical product conceptual design, with a primary focus on integrating systematic design methodologies to enhance innovation and efficiency. His most cited work masterfully combines Axiomatic Design (AD) and the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) within a modular design framework, addressing the limitations of each method when used in isolation. This seminal paper, cited 20 times, demonstrates the practical application of this hybrid approach to a cutter changing robot, showing how to reduce product design periods while improving functional independence. Dr. Ji’s major contribution lies in formalizing a design process that leverages TRIZ’s creative problem-solving to resolve contradictions identified by AD’s rigorous decomposition, resulting in more robust and adaptable mechanical systems. His research provides a powerful toolkit for engineers seeking to move beyond trial-and-error, offering a structured path from abstract requirements to concrete, optimized modules. By bridging theoretical design principles with real-world robotic applications, Dr. Ji’s work is foundational for students and researchers aiming to accelerate innovation in modern mechanical product development.
