TL;DR: This paper proposes an SME-oriented design approach based on a configuration design paradigm that can offer decision support to designers to form flexible architecture for robotic manufacturing systems and, at the same time, give more interactive configuration freedom to customers so as to achieve a high productivity and flexibility for customisation but with less risk and cost of product development.

TL;DR: For the large and complex mechatronic systems for manufacturing applications, with the support of the interface compatibility rules and the elimination algorithm in the configuration design method, the number of alternative combinations from which designers select the most suitable combination can be significantly reduced.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that artificial half sarcomere actuator possesses great motion performance such as high response speed, great acceleration, small weight and size, robustness, etc., which presents a promising application prospect of artificial half Sarasota actuator.

TL;DR: The proposed approach provides effective support for the standardization of the rules and knowledge related to manufacturing programs that have proven successful in previous manufacturing cases and can not only increase the programming efficiency, but can also improve the manufacturing stability and production quality.
