摘要：The paper aims at defining some complexity indices that would help designers of robotic mechanical systems to develop their goods with a globally robust design. Complexity is a relevant criterion in a globally robust design problem. Formerly a philosophical concept, it is nowadays well defined mathematically, but mainly used in computer science. However, design complexity is not defined yet in the literature. First, the notion of globally robust design and a design process model are set forth. Then, four design complexity indices are introduced. The first uses the notion of variance, the second is based on entropy, the third uses the notion of spectral richness, and the last one uses the notion of spectral noise. Finally, these four indices are compared by means of an analysis of the complexity of several distributions of subproducts.
