%0 Journal Article %T Multiobjective Optimum Design of a 3-RRR Spherical Parallel Manipulator with Kinematic and Dynamic Dexterities %A Guanglei Wu %J Modeling, Identification and Control %D 2012 %I Norwegian Society of Automatic Control %R 10.4173/mic.2012.3.3 %X This paper deals with the kinematic synthesis problem of a 3-underlineRRR spherical parallel manipulator, based on the evaluation criteria of the kinematic, kinetostatic and dynamic performances of the manipulator. A multiobjective optimization problem is formulated to optimize the structural and geometric parameters of the spherical parallel manipulator. The proposed approach is illustrated with the optimum design of a special spherical parallel manipulator with unlimited rolling motion. The corresponding optimization problem aims to maximize the kinematic and dynamic dexterities over its regular shaped workspace. %K Spherical parallel manipulator %K multiobjective optimization %K Cartesian stiffness matrix %K dexterity %U http://www.mic-journal.no/PDF/2012/MIC-2012-3-3.pdf
