METHEUS

CAD Agent for Linkage Mechanisms

Automate mechanical design with METHEUS — and grow your organization's design capability with every use

Opening Sep 2026

METHEUS is an AI agent for automated mechanism design.

It rapidly generates optimized designs from your industry-specific requirements and constraints.

Robotics

Automatically generates linkage designs for robotic grippers, articulated joints, and leg mechanisms based on required motion profiles. Reduce prototype iterations and accelerate development cycles.

Mobility

Automatically generates suspensions, door hinges, seat recliners, and other vehicle mechanisms within complex packaging and durability constraints. Reduce validation time and accelerate production readiness.

Others (aerospace, healthcare, etc.)

From deployable structures to rehab devices and surgical tools — wherever precise motion matters, METHEUS delivers designs that meet industry requirements.

IDeAOcean's proprietary mechanism design technology

METHEUS is built on nearly 20 years of autonomous mechanism design research, beginning at Seoul National University in 2007.

Designs the way engineers do

METHEUS captures the knowledge and design methods of experienced mechanical engineers. Its engineering ontology formalizes systematic CAD workflows to generate professional-grade mechanism designs.

AI that adapts to your organization (on-premise available)

METHEUS uses design feedback and decision history to align with your organization's standards and preserve engineering know-how as a reusable company asset.

Save time

Reduce design and review cycles from days to minutes. Focus on engineering decisions, not repetitive work.

Reduce costs

Evaluate more design alternatives early to cut prototyping and redesign costs.

Improve design quality

Quantitatively evaluate and optimize design alternatives against motion and load requirements.

Preserve engineering know-how

Capture engineers' design knowledge as an organizational asset, so critical capabilities remain even as teams change.

Compatible software

softwareIncludes basic CAD, analysis, and design features

Enter your requirements. Get design candidates.

Describe the required motion, spatial constraints, and load conditions in natural language through your LLM platform. METHEUS interprets the mechanism design problem and automatically generates compliant mechanism candidates directly in your preferred CAD environment.

Compare multiple design alternatives at a glance

For one set of requirements, METHEUS generates multiple alternatives and compares them quantitatively by trajectory accuracy, part count, space efficiency, and other key criteria — helping you select the best-fit design.

Continue in the CAD you already use

No need to switch tools or rebuild the model — modify the selected design and continue detailed engineering directly in FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or CATIA.

Learns and adapts to your design standards

METHEUS learns from design feedback and selection history, progressively generating proposals that better reflect your organization's design standards and preferences.
