Abstract

The existing literature has highlighted the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing ideation and optimizing functionality across various engineering disciplines. However, a comprehensive understanding of the impact of AI on the engineering design process, particularly in creating innovative and efficient designs, is currently lacking. This research specifically investigates the integration of AI in developing space-haptic boots by utilizing haptic technology for immersive virtual interactions. The study analyzes the role of an AI tool, ChatGPT-3.5, in the design process, starting from requirement gathering to prototyping and testing, to assess the effectiveness and challenges of AI in engineering design. We also evaluated the quality of the design with engineers. The results show that AI tools provide a starting point for data requirements and design, though issues with inaccuracy and traceability still need to be tackled. Moreover, the proposed requirements and design lack crucial elements that domain experts can easily spot. This study offers insight into the practical application of AI in the design process and the potential for future endeavors.
