Multi-criteria optimization of the four-finger gripper mechanism

Three posterior algorithms NSGA-II, MOGWO and MOPSO to solve the problem of multicriteria optimization of the robotic gripper design are considered. The description of the kinematic model of the developed prototype of the four-fingered gripper for picking tomatoes, its limitations and objective functions used in the optimization of the design are given. The main advantage of the developed prototype is the use of one actuator for the control of the fingers and the suction nozzle. The results of optimization of the kinematic model and the dimensions of the elements of robotic gripper using the considered posterior algorithms are presented.
