Genetic Algorithm Optimization of a Double Four-Bar Manipulator

Abstract:

In order to optimize the dimension of a manipulator, the optimization requirements are analyzed. Then the mathematical model and optimization objectives are established. Next, the lengths of the manipulator are optimized by Matlab genetic algorithm optimization toolbox. The structural strength and bearing installation space are considered at the same time. The trajectory and transmission angle are compared. Finally, the lengths which meet the use requirements are obtained. This optimization method provides a reference for similar mechanism.
