“…Furthermore, both modular design and robust design are important aspects of mechatronic design and still are subject to intensive research by the community. Indeed, multiple work proposes methodologies for robustly designing mechatronic systems (Alyaqout et al, 2011;Chouinard et al, 2019b;Coulombe et al, 2017;Villarreal-Cervantes et al, 2013). Moreover, modular mechatronic design has also been highly investigated such as done for instance by Schuh et al (2016) or by van Beek,Erden and Tomiyama (2010).…”
