3。2。 Differential Evolution
The DE approach contains the same processes of population initialization, mutation, crossover and selection。 It emphasizes direct use of the objective function。 A cost

function, C, is used to rate the inpidual vectors according to their capability to mini- mize the objective function, f 。
Solution vectors without constraint violations have cost functions equal to the objec- tive function。 Any constraint violation tends to increase the cost of a vector by a value I greater than the objective function。 For our study of torque minimization, the lower the cost, the better or more fit the design variables are。
The genetic operation of mutation in the DE uses the vector differentiation method (adding the weighted difference between two population vectors to the third vector) to generate a new vector。 DE is a parallel search method that operates on D-dimensional parameter vectors, where D is the number of design variables。 The number of vectors is equal to user defined population size。 The initial vector population is chosen randomly。 The DE process starts from selecting a target vector。 Then, it randomly selects two other vectors and generates a difference vector, which is multiplied with a user defined论文网
weighting factor F to obtain “weighted difference vector”。 The weighted difference vector and randomly chosen mutation vector create a noisy vector, which is subjected to crossover process with the target vector in order to generate the trial vector [17,25]。 The trial vector is then compared with the original target vector。 The vector having less cost function is allowed into the new population。 A schematic of the DE process is shown in Fig。 S。
One of the advantages of DE is that it uses real variables as compared to binary numbers like the GA。 This scheme encodes variables as floating point numbers without ever being reformatted as chromosomes with a different binary representation。 Floating- point numbers use the computer resources efficiently [18]。 In our work, we used the con- trol parameters suggested by Storn [26] and shown in Table II。 The population size is generally varied according to the number of design variables。

4。 APPLICATION TO MANIPULATOR DESIGN
The evolutionary techniques introduced were used in the design of SCARA and articu- lated manipulators。 In this section, the results of applying these techniques for manipu- lator design will be presented and discussed。 The manipulator models, kinematics, inverse kinematics and dynamic analyses for both configurations are based on the modified DH parameters [21]。 In the presented examples, the parameters are expressed in the SI system and the angles in degrees。 机器人优化设计英文文献和中文翻译(6):http://www.youerw.com/fanyi/lunwen_82103.html
