Abstract

In this study, ABC (Artificial Bee Colony) and BGA (Binary Genetic Algorithm) algorithms are used to synthesis of the four-bar mechanisms for path generating. The main goal is to extract the optimized dimension of mechanism links to transmit coupler point in the desired path with minimum error. In addition, the object mechanism has dimensional limitations such as the crank link should rotate 360 degree completely which is defined in suitable manner as the constrained of the optimization problem. Finally, the results of the optimization algorithm using ABC and BGA are compared with each other.
