Abstract

In this paper, a new approach for motion generation and optimization of the flexible macro-micro manipulator system is proposed based on Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA). The macro-micro manipulator system is a redundant system, of which inverse kinematics remains challenging, with no generic solution to date. Here, the manipulator system configurations, or the optimal joint motions, are generated using the EDA algorithm base on Gaussian probability model. Compared with simple genetic algorithms (SGA), this approach uses fewer parameters and the time for motion optimization is remarkably reduced. The proposed approach shows excellent performance on motion generation and optimization of a flexible macro-micro manipulator system, as demonstrated by the simulation results.
