dc.description.abstract |
There are some key advantages associated with parallel robots, which have warranted their continued research and wide application in both university laboratories and industry. To obtain a parallel manipulator with good properties, as customized by user specifications, the design parameters of a parallel manipulator must be optimized. The optimal design of the general parallel manipulator’s kinematic parameters may be decomposed into two processes: structural synthesis and dimensional synthesis. Although both these processes will be described, the scope of this paper explores the dimensional synthesis aspect. Historical optimization methods adopted by researchers are discussed. This paper presents dimensional synthesis approaches based on performance requirements that have a potential to obtain almost all feasible design solutions that satisfy the requirements. The optimal design problem is a constrained nonlinear optimization problem with no explicit analytical expression. This makes the process of optimization a cumbersome and time-consuming endeavour, especially when the variables are diverse and objective functions are excessively complex. Thus, several techniques devised by researchers to solve the problem are reviewed in this paper. |
