Design Optimization of Redundant Spherical Parallel Manipulator with an Unlimited Self-Rotation
摘要
This paper deals with the optimization of a redundant spherical parallel manipulator (RSPM). The manipulator consists of two spherical five-bar mechanisms connected through a common end-effector, providing three degrees of freedom and offering unlimited self-rotation capability. To enhance its performance, the geometric parameters are optimized using a hybrid DE–Jaya method. The objective of this optimization is to reduce the geometric parameters while improving the manipulator’s dexterity.
