Abstract This paper describes how we used genetic programming to automatically create the design of both the structure (topology) and sizing (component values) of analog electrical circuits that duplicate the functionality of five post-2000 patented inventions. The paper also describes how we used genetic programming to automatically create the design of both the structure (topology) and tuning (parameter values) of a general-purpose controller that outperforms conventional controllers for industrially representative plants. 1 Introduction Patents represent current research and development efforts by the engineering and scientific communities. This paper reports on a project in which we browsed patents issued since January 1, 2000 to commercial ente
