Short summary
Eliminating the hysteresis effect is highly desired in harmonic drive, which results in challenges in the control design. In this paper, we construct a new compound optimal controller to improve the compensational effect of hysteresis torque. The new controller is proposed based on the optimal theory and the linearization of nonlinear system. Numerical simulation shows that this new controller can track the complex reference trajectory with a relative error less than 1%.

Compared with the two traditional intelligent optimization algorithms, the results show that the particle swarm optimization configuration algorithm, based on an improved orthogonal experiment design, has a better optimization effect, and the results are improved to a certain extent. The evaluation indexes of a multi-objective optimization design are often contradictory. The designer needs to compromise and select an appropriate parameter design value.

First, we calculated the trajectory of the end effector of manipulator. This trajectory enables the end effector to reach the desired pose. At the same time, collision detection algorithm was employed to calculate the distance between each link of the manipulator and obstacle. We utilized the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the trajectory to minimize joint motor energy consumption and reduce joint velocity and joint impact during the movement of the manipulator.

The deformation of blades under complex loads of multiple working conditions reduces the energy conversion efficiency. To reduce the deviation of the blade shape in practical working conditions, a combination and optimization method of blade design schemes under multiple working conditions, based on the entropy weight vague sets, is proposed. The results show that the proposed design scheme has a smaller blade shape deviation than the traditional design scheme under multiple working conditions.
