Motor Control Center Engineering Automation with Google ADK and Cohere

Designing complex Motor Control Center (MCC) wiring diagrams manually requires extensive engineering lead times. You will build an automated CAD and schematics generator using Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) and Cohere Platform embeddings to map dynamic engineering specs directly into standardized MCC single-line diagrams. The system must reduce schematic generation time by over 80%.

What you are building

Construct a Google ADK agent integrated with Cohere Platform model inference to automate Motor Control Center (MCC) electrical layout design.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy of calculated circuit breaker ratings and structural completeness of generated single-line schematics.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

nec_sizing_compliance

Verifies that breaker rating and wire gauge meet NEC minimum safety standards for given motor HP.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

layout_generation_time_sec

Time elapsed to build complete schematic specification • target: 2.5 • range: 0-10

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Implement Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) agent structure with Gemini / Cohere inference endpoints

  • Leverage Cohere Platform reranking and semantic embeddings for fast retrieval of electrical component specs
