Serial Robot

Serial robots, robotic arms with a linear arrangement of joints, are being actively researched to improve their efficiency and adaptability. Current research focuses on optimizing motion planning algorithms (like RRT*), developing novel kinematic architectures such as minimally actuated or malleable robots to reduce weight and cost, and refining inverse kinematics calculations to consider factors like joint efficiency and stiffness. These advancements aim to enhance the precision, workspace, and applicability of serial robots in various fields, including manufacturing and industrial automation.
