Abstract

Topological optimization is a type of structural optimization that provides conceptual design for lighter structures. The aim of this method is to maximize system performance for a given set of loads, boundary conditions, and constraints. This method is based on element analysis finished assembly. The design of a lightweight robot is a key point since the weight of the robot is directly proportional to the load capacity of the robot and its motor power. The structural design is iterated in a loop until function convergence achieves the objectives and the atisfying constraints.
