Optimal Design and Simulation on the Major Linkage Parameters of a Harvesting Manipulator

Article Preview

Abstract:

A general optimization methodology for the optimal design of robotic manipulators is presented and illustrated by its application to a harvesting manipulator. The optimization design of the manipulator framework and structure is made according to the tomato' s growth circumstance and distribution space.The workspace of the manipulator is carried out and simulated through the Monte Carlo method. Simulation results show that the manipulator with 4 degree- of- freedoms meets the expectations for picking tomato in greenhouse. The rationality of the structure and frame is validated.
