Abstract
The optimal design of linkage mechanisms for path generation and motions with reduced harmonic content is investigated. The designs are carried out using a two-objective optimizer based on the fuzzy theory. As an illustration, the present approach is applied to the optimization of a five-bar hybrid mechanism driven by a constant speed motor and a servo motor. The dynamic characteristics of the servo motor are improved, as the harmonics in the servo motion are reduced.
