Description
Summary:In this paper, the environmental uncertainties are taken into account when designing a robotic manipulator to balance the shaking force, shaking moment, and torque. The proposed robust balancing design approach does not consider the probability distributions of the uncertainties and is addressed without dependence on specific trajectories. This is expressed as a nonlinear constrained multiobjective optimization problem in which the nominal performance in the time-independent terms of the shaking force balancing, the shaking moment balancing, and the torque delivery, as well as their three sensitivities to uncertainties, are simultaneously optimized to provide a set of link shapes that match link mass distributions in a single stage. The proposal is applied to a three-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel manipulator, and the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is used to solve the associated problem. Comparative results with other design approaches reveal that the selected design achieves a suitable tradeoff in balancing the shaking force balancing, the shaking moment balancing, and the torque delivery and their sensitivities, leading to a reduction in their values and variations under mass changes in the manipulator end-effector with different operating conditions (tasks).
