Trajectory optimization of position-controlled servo systems driving repetitive tasks is very appealing in research as it allows for more performant and efficient machines without any additional investment hardware. In particular, monoactuator with position-dependent system properties have received much attention the literature they represent a large part mechatronic can easily be modeled existing CAD packages. Although techniques position profile are well documented, most based on heuristic...
The design optimization of mechanisms is promising as it results in more energy-efficient machines without compromising performance. However, machine builders do not apply state-of-the-art methods, these algorithms require case-specific theoretical analysis. Moreover, the synthesis approaches literature predominantly utilize heuristic optimizers, leading to suboptimal local minima. This paper introduces a widely applicable workflow, guaranteeing global optimum. constraints describing...
