Synthesis and performance evaluation of manipulator-link using improved weighted density matrix approach with topology optimization method

Topology optimization is recently employed for the design of light-weight manipulator-link that enhances energy-efficiency. However, the optimized topology at one angular-position is non-optimal for others because of dynamic loading. In this work, two approaches are proposed to synthesize ‘a single...
