Experimental validation of an optimum design method for a ball throwing robot considering degrees of freedom, link parameters, and motion pattern

This paper considers a particular case of a robot body design method which determines degrees of freedom (DOFs) number and link parameters to maximize a target task performance, and feasibility of this design method is validated by several experiments. In this paper, the target task is to throw a ba...

Design parameters are the robot body parameters and its motion pattern, and they are designed to maximize ball reaching distance under long throw task conditions. To define the link lengths and the robot DOFs number as design parameters, it is assumed that robot links have identical actuators, and these link parameters are defined as functions of link lengths.
