Aiming at the problem that Harris hawks optimizer (HHO) has poor population diversity and
is easy to fall into local optimum when solving complex optimization problems, a multi-leader …

Four-bar linkages are one of the most widely used mechanisms in industries. This paper
presents a comparative study on the accuracy and efficiency of the optimum synthesis of …

This paper considers the synthesis of the four-bar mechanism. It is treated here as an
optimization problem, in which an objective function is defined. To solve this problem, a …

Conceptual design of mechanisms is a crucial part of achieving product innovation as
mechanisms perform the transmission and transformation of specific motions in the machine …

The ankle rehabilitation in certain injuries requires passive movements to aid in the prompt
recovery of ankle movement. In the last years, parallel ankle rehabilitation robots with …

A new objective function for optimizing spherical, four-bar mechanisms for motion
generation is presented. Rigid-body poses of a spherical four-bar mechanism in a standard …

In the past decade, trajectory synthesis methods seem to reach a bottleneck. These methods
occasionally fail when some complex trajectories and linkage configurations are …

Since last few decades, a lot of work has been done on the evolutionary techniques to solve
the optimisation problems. With the time passes, these techniques were modified, and also …

Component batching can be a source of time waste in specific industrial applications, such
as kitting. Kitting operations are usually performed by hoppers, but other devices can be …

The paper considers dimensional synthesis of a path generator four-bar linkage by applying
the modified Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. During the search of the space, the DE …
