Abstract:Robot gripper design is an active research area due to its wide spread applicability in automation. The present work deals with the actuator analysis of a non-linear, multi-modal and multi-objective optimization problem which is originally formulated by Osyczka [1]. The previous work [1] had treated the actuator as a blackbox. In the present work, the formulation has been changed by incorporating actuator analysis into the robotic gripper problem. The piezoelectric actuating system is modeled as a stack consis… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
