The objective of a mechanism may be following a trajectory or transmitting force. For a gripper mechanism, several objectives can be written. Performing the objectives with success requires optimized link lengths of the mechanism. There are several methods for optimization nowadays. Heuristic optimization methods are advantageous for problems with multivariable objective functions. One of the heuristic and population-based optimization method, the bees’ algorithm searches optimal points in a wide space of solution of the objective function. In this paper, a gripper mechanism was optimized by using the bees’ algorithm and compared with non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm version II (NSGA-II).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOptimizationHeuristic OptimizationThe Bees’ AlgorithmGripper MechanismNSGA IIConference Object
