Particle swarm optimization-based algorithm of a symplectic method for robotic dynamics and control

Multibody system dynamics provides a strong tool for the estimation of dynamic performances and the optimization of multisystem robot design. It can be described with differential algebraic equations(DAEs). In this paper, a particle swarm optimization(PSO) method is introduced to solve and control a symplectic multibody system for the first time. It is first combined with the symplectic method to solve problems in uncontrolled and controlled robotic arm systems. It is shown that the results conserve the energy and keep the constraints of the chaotic motion, which demonstrates the efficiency, accuracy, and time-saving ability of the method. To make the system move along the pre-planned path, which is a functional extremum problem, a double-PSO-based instantaneous optimal control is introduced. Examples are performed to test the effectiveness of the double-PSO-based instantaneous optimal control. The results show that the method has high accuracy, a fast convergence speed, and a wide range of applications.All the above verify the immense potential applications of the PSO method in multibody system dynamics.

Dynamic optimization of electromechanical coupling system is a significant engineering problem in the field of mechatronics. The performance improvement of electromechanical equipment depends on the system design parameters. Aiming at the spindle unit of refitted machine tool for solid rocket, the vibration acceleration of tool is taken as objective function, and the electromechanical system design parameters are appointed as design variables.

These results show that the DPSO is very effective in dealing with the DFLP. The extended DPSO also has very good computational efficiency when the problem size increases.

Dynamic neighborhood genetic learning particle swarm optimization for high-power-density electric propulsion motor

To maximize the power density of the electric propulsion motor in aerospace application,this paper proposes a novel Dynamic Neighborhood Genetic Learning Particle Swarm Optimization(DNGL-PSO)for the motor design,which can deal with the insufficient population diversity and non-global optimal solution issues.The DNGL-PSO framework is composed of the dynamic neighborhood module and the particle update module.To improve the population diversity,the dynamic neighborhood strategy is first proposed,which combines the local neighborhood exemplar generation mechanism and the shuffling mechanism.The local neighborhood exemplar generation mechanism enlarges the search range of the algorithm in the solution space,thus obtaining highquality exemplars.Meanwhile,when the global optimal solution cannot update its fitness value,the shuffling mechanism module is triggered to dynamically change the local neighborhood members.The roulette wheel selection operator is introduced into the shuffling mechanism to ensure that particles with larger fitness value are selected with a higher probability and remain in the local neighborhood.Then,the global learning based particle update approach is proposed,which can achieve a good balance between the expansion of the search range in the early stage and the acceleration of local convergence in the later stage.Finally,the optimization design of the electric propulsion motor is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed DNGL-PSO.The simulation results show that the proposed DNGL-PSO has excellent adaptability,optimization efficiency and global optimization capability,while the optimized electric propulsion motor has a high power density of 5.207 kW/kg with the efficiency of 96.12%.

Rule-and PSO Algorithm-based Dynamic Spatial Rescheduling Method for Hull Curved Block Construction

Due to no effective rescheduling method in hull curved block construction planning, existing scheduling planning can’t be applied in practical production effectively. Two-dimensional layout and dynamic attributes of block construction planning are considered to develop a spatial rescheduling method, which is based on the spatial points searching rule and the particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm. A dynamic spatial rescheduling method is proposed to solve the manufacturing problem of rush-order blocks. Through spatial rescheduling, the rescheduling start time, the current processing information set and rescheduling blocks set can be obtained automatically. By using and updating the data of these sets, the rescheduling method combines the PSO algorithm with the spatial points searching rule to determine the rescheduling start time and layout of the blocks. Three types of dynamic events, including rush-order block delay, existing block delay and existing block position changes, are used to address problems with different function goals by setting different function weights. Finally, simulations based on three types of rush-order block events are performed to validate this method, including single rush-order block, multi rush-order blocks at the same time and multi rush-order blocks at different times. The simulation results demonstrate that this method can solve the rush-order block problems in hull block construction and reduce the interference to the existing manufacturing schedule. The proposed research provides a new rescheduling method and helps instruct scheduler to make production planning in hull block construction.
