Abstract
This article deals with forward kinematics (FK) mapping of a parallel robot, especially designed for ankle joint rehabilitation treatments. Parallel robots exhibit highly coupled non-linear motions hence conventionally a unique closed form solution of their FK cannot be obtained. However, since FK is a key module in closed loop position and force control, its accurate and fast solution is indispensable. To solve the FK problem, a modified fuzzy inference system (FIS) is proposed in this paper for the first time which is time efficient and becomes very accurate when its parameters are optimized. In the proposed work, FIS has been optimized using three approaches namely: gradient descent (GD), genetic algorithm (GA) and modified genetic algorithm (MGA). The FIS, optimized by MGA has been found to be more accurate than the GD and GA optimized FIS. Performance of the MGA based fuzzy system has been found better both in terms of accuracy and computation time, when compared with Newton–Raphson iterative method and other fuzzy and neural approaches.
