Methodology for the kinematical selection of a manipulator for a specified task
Manipulator design methodology is a recent and important issue in the robot design research area. Most importantly, to design a robot rationally, one must have a strong understanding of the design parameters of the manipulator, and of the characteristics of the robot relative to its kinematical and dynamical requirements. Development of a robot capable of fast movements or high payloads is progressed by the analysis of dynamic characteristics, DOF positioning, actuator selection, structure of links, and so on.
