无生命的人工制造物与有生命的生物之间从产生到发展存在着许多的共同规律。人工生命将生物的各种生命现象在工程领域中再现、创造出各类生物型的人工系统。在机械设计领域中运用人工生命的方法产生出生物型机械设计系统，将大大加快设计速度，提高设计质量并能创造出各种新型机械。 There are many common laws between birth and development of inanimate artifacts and living creatures. Artificial Life Reproduces all kinds of biological phenomena of life in the field of engineering, and creates all kinds of biological artificial systems. The use of artificial life in the field of mechanical design to produce a biological mechanical design system will greatly accelerate the design speed, improve the design quality and create a variety of new machinery.
