Kinematic Synthesis of a Serial Robotic Manipulator by Using Generalized Differential Inverse Kinematics

In this paper, we propose an optimization method to determine the design parameters comprising joint displacement parameters in a serial manipulator having small degrees of freedom realizing an approximated target trajectory. Using generalized differential kinematics, we can achieve efficient optimization without solving the inner-loop optimization required to obtain the reachable points.
