    <jats:p>Balancing mechanisms require the minimization of both the Shaking Moment (ShM) and Shaking Force (ShF), a complex multi-criteria challenge often tackled using single-objective algorithms. However, these methods face difficulties in navigating competing objectives. In contrast, multi-objective algorithms provide a more efficient and adaptable framework, while Fully Cartesian Coordinates (FCC) simplify the balancing equations compared to conventional Cartesian formulations. This study focuses on optimizing the dynamic balance of a six-bar Watt linkage using FCC. A wide set of optimization methods is analyzed and compared, and among them, the S-Metric Selection Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization Algorithm (SMS-EMOA) demonstrates superior performance. This algorithm achieves the most significant hypervolume value in only 10.44 min of execution. The results indicate that multi-objective algorithms outperform single-objective approaches, offering faster and more diverse optimization solutions. Additionally, this study introduces an analytical method that enables the straightforward identification of removable counterweights, achieving an equally effective balance while minimizing the number of counterweights required.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>The problem of shaking force balancing of robotic manipulators, which allows the elimination or substantial reduction of the variable force transmitted to the fixed frame, has been traditionally solved by optimal mass redistribution of the moving links. The resulting configurations have been achieved by adding counterweights, by adding auxiliary structures or, by modifying the form of the links from the early design phase. This leads to an increase in the mass of the elements of the mechanism, which in turn leads to an increment of the torque transmitted to the base (the shaking moment) and of the driving torque. Thus, a balancing method that avoids the increment in mass is very desirable. In this article, the reduction of the shaking force of robotic manipulators is proposed by the optimal trajectory planning of the common center of mass of the system, which is carried out by “bang-bang” profile. This allows a considerable reduction in shaking forces without requiring counterweights, additional structures, or changes in form. The method, already presented in the literature, is resumed in this case using a direct and easy to automate modeling technique based on fully Cartesian coordinates. This permits to express the common center of mass, the shaking force, and the shaking moment of the manipulator as simple analytic expressions. The suggested modeling procedure and balancing technique are illustrated through the balancing of the 3RRR planar parallel manipulator (PPM). Results from computer simulations are reported.</jats:p>

    Gradient Descent-Based Optimization Method of a Four-Bar Mechanism Using Fully Cartesian Coordinates

    <jats:p>Machine vibrations often occur due to dynamic unbalance inducing wear, fatigue, and noise that limit the potential of many machines. Dynamic balancing is a main concern in mechanism and machine theory as it allows designers to limit the transmission of vibrations to the frames and base of machines. This work introduces a novel method for representing a four-bar mechanism with the use of Fully Cartesian coordinates and a simple definition of the shaking force (ShF) and the shaking moment (ShM) equations. A simplified version of Projected Gradient Descent is used to minimize the ShF and ShM functions with the aim of balancing the system. The multi-objective optimization problem was solved using a linear combination of the objectives. A comprehensive analysis of the partial derivatives, volumes, and relations between area and thickness of the counterweights is used to define whether the allowed optimization boundaries should be changed in case the mechanical conditions of the mechanism permit it. A comparison between Pareto fronts is used to determine the impact that each counterweight has on the mechanism’s balancing. In this way, it is possible to determine which counterweights can be eliminated according to the importance of the static balance (ShF), dynamic balance (ShM), or both. The results of this methodology when using three counterweights reduces the ShF and ShM by 99.70% and 28.69%, respectively when importance is given to the static balancing and by 83.99% and 8.47%, respectively, when importance is focused on dynamic balancing. Even when further reducing the number of counterweights, the ShF and ShM can be decreased satisfactorily.</jats:p>

    This paper presents the design, implementation, and characterization of a miniature crab-like walking robot. The first prototype developed is a four-legged servomotor actuated machine that exhibits compact dimensions, low mass, and is capable of overcoming obstacles and moving on irregular terrain and confined spaces. Its bio-inspired design ensures the compliance of its locomotion mechanism even in the presence of external disturbances. The mechanical design, the implementation of the prototype, and its electronic control approach are first discussed. Next, a kinematic analysis characterizing its motion is presented. The aim of this device is to serve as an educational supporting platform for understanding robot kinematics and legged locomotion.

    Esta tesis explora la optimización del balanceo dinámico en diferentes tipos de mecanismos en el plano para lograr la reducción máxima de las reacciones correspondientes a la Fuerza de Sacudimiento y al Momento de Sacudimiento a través de la redistribución de masas. Las expresiones que definen las reacciones dinámicas en la base del mecanismo se obtienen de manera analítica, gracias al modelado realizado en coordenadas completamente cartesianas. Esto permite ensamblar una matriz de masas constante para todo el mecanismo, en donde además pueden identificarse fácilmente las condiciones de balanceo dinámico. La optimización se lleva a cabo mediante contrapesos calculados utilizando los algoritmos de Descenso de Gradiente y Evolución Diferencial, y se analizan utilizando Frentes de Pareto. En la mayoría de los casos se realizan análisis de sensibilidad, empleando también Frentes de Pareto, que permiten conocer la importancia que cada contrapeso tiene para el balanceo general. Además, se presenta una propuesta para el análisis de las restricciones de la optimización, empleando diagramas de caja. Usando las técnicas propuestas es posible lograr mejoras de hasta el 99.70% en la Fuerza de Sacudimiento y de hasta un 97.56% en el Momento de Sacudimiento, o incluso mayores al 50% en ambos casos cuando se utiliza únicamente un contrapeso.
