The objective of this paper is to distill the following essential idea fromthe RSS 2016 Workshop on Minimality and Design Automation and the RSS 2017Workshop on Minimality and Trade-offs in Automated Robot Design:  The information abstractions popular within robotics, designed as they wereto address insulated sub-problems, are currently inadequate for designautomation.  This paper's first aim is to draw together multiple threads---specificallythose of formalization, minimality, automation, and integration---and to arguethat robot design questions involve some of the most interesting andfundamental challenges for the discipline. While most efforts in automatingrobot design have focused on optimization of hardware, robot design is alsoinextricably linked to the design of the internal state of the robot, how thatinternal state interacts with sensors and actuators, and how taskspecifications are designed within this context. Focusing attention on thoseconsiderations is worthwhile for the study of robot design because they arecurrently in a critical intellectual sweet spot, being out of reachtechnically, but only just.  The second ingredient of this paper forms a roadmap. It emphasizes twoaspects: (1) the role of models in robot design, a reprise of the old chestnutabout representation in robotics (namely, that "the world is its own bestmodel"); (2) a consideration of the human-element within the envisioned scheme.
