Abstract

The G3-PCX genetic algorithm is compared with hybrid meta-heuristic approaches for solving the forward kinematics problem of the 6-6 general parallel manipulator. The G3-PCX shows improvements in terms of accuracy, response time and reliability. Several experiments con rm solving the given problem in less than 1 second. It also reports all the 16 unique real solutions which are veri ed by an exact algebraic method. This opens the way to simulation and certi cation applications.
