Developing Different Test Conditions to Verify the Robustness and Versatility of Robotic Arms Controlled by Evolutionary Algorithms

Abstract

In this paper, different test cases where robotic arms are tested will be presented. A robotic arm is tested for the gravity effects that can be observed on it. The other robotic arm is tested for how much precision it has by using it to learn to write. The other robotic arm is tested on how well it can function as a solar tracker and how precisely it can function as an energy harvester. On the basis of these tests, the robotic arm’s mechanical structure, electronics, and software are put to the test. The software is based on evolutionary software that implements genetic algorithms. The entire command system is also ported to FPGAs (to hardware) to increase speed and response time.
