The master thesis deals with the topic of the influence of artificial intelligence in mechanical engineering with a focus on its implementation in various CAD tools. In the first chapters, artificial intelligence in general is defined, its application, components and classification are described. Its specific application in mechanical engineering, how we use it today and what forms of artificial intelligence we have in modern CAD tools are emphasized. Advantages and disadvantages compared to the traditional modeling approach are listed. Just some of these new modeling approaches are design methods based on topology optimization and generative design tools. The practical part of this master thesis is making a 3D model of a robotic gripper by using the CAD tool FUSION360. A generative design software package was used to optimize the parts of the gripper according to the given criteria and wishes. This master thesis shows how complex 3D models can be created without advanced modeling knowledge using new CAD tools with integrated AI systems. The steps in using generative design to create 3D models of a robotic arm are described in detail. At the end, the actual production of these parts is described, and the prototype of the robotic arm is made and tested.
