In order to improve the geometric positioning accuracy of robot end-effectors and allocate geometric parameter tolerances reasonably in the initial design stage of robot precision,a multi-objective tolerance optimization allocation method based on fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) with elite strategy was proposed. ROKAE XB76-DOF serial robot was studied,and the minimum cost single-objective tolerance optimal allocation based on genetic algorithm (GA) and NSGA-Ⅱ multi-objective tolerance optimal allocation method were used to optimize the tolerance allocation of DH(Denavit-Hartenberg) parameters. In the case of the same precision design objectives and genetic algorithm parameter settings,compared with the minimum cost geometric parameter tolerance optimization allocation based on the genetic algorithm,the multi-objective optimal allocation based on NSGA-Ⅱ could provide a series of optimal solutions with different manufacturing costs and different precision design requirements. The relaxation rate of tolerance is relatively high,and the result of parameter tolerance optimization is better.
