Abstract
This paper presents an optimal kinematic design for a general type of 3-RPS spatial parallel manipulator based on multi-objective optimization. The objective functions considered are Global Conditioning Index (GCI), Global stiffness Index (GSI) and Workspace volume. The objective functions are optimized simultaneously to improve the dexterity as well as the workspace volume which represents the working capacity of a parallel manipulator. A multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on the control elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is adopted to find the true optimal Pareto front. A constraint Jacobian matrix is derived analytically and the manipulator workspace is generated by numerical search method. The static analysis of the manipulator is also carried out to determine the compliance of the end-effecter.
