摘要:In order to improve the performance of a novel shoulder joint for fruit and vegetable harvesting robot, parameter optimization was presented. On the basis of the Jacobian matrix of the parallel mechanism, the global dexterity index and driving performance index which met the workspace requirements and the constrained conditions were used as the optimal objective and the optimization model of the shoulder structure parameters was established. The ant colony algorithm was used to optimize the structure parameters of the mechanism, dimensional synthesis of the shoulder was carried out and the optimal scale parameter values were given. With the mechanism for the prototype, a shoulder joint of humanoid robot is designed. It has the advantages of compact structure, easy manufacturing, strong carrying capacity and lower motion inertia, etc.
