To assess the inverse kinematics (IK) of multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) serial manipulators, this article proposes a method for solving the IK of manipulators using an improved self-adaptive mutation differential evolution (DE) algorithm. First, based on the self-adaptive DE algorithm, a new adaptive mutation operator and adaptive scaling factor are proposed to change the control parameters and differential strategy of the DE algorithm. Then, an error-related weight coefficient of the objective function is proposed to balance the weight of the position error and orientation error in the objective function. Finally, the proposed method is verified by the benchmark function, the 6-DOF and 7-DOF serial manipulator model. Experimental results show that the improvement of the algorithm and improved objective function can significantly improve the accuracy of the IK. For the specified points and random points in the feasible region, the proportion of accuracy meeting the specified requirements is increased by 22.5% and 28.7%, respectively.

With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in December 2019 in China, and the alarming rate at which it has spread across the world has unleashed not only fear, but has taken a toll on social, economic, health, and governing capabilities of the various countries infected with the virus. The pandemic is affecting all aspects of life, including industries such as the animal production industry all over the world. This includes plant, livestock and poultry production. Food security is accordingly impacted, as these industries are vital elements that are contributing to securing food to populations worldwide. In this review, light is shed on the origin of coronaviruses with special emphasis on COVID-19. It also includes introduction of symptoms, epidemiology and pathogenesis, etiology, and prevention. As the disease progresses, scientists are working around the clock in the hope of an effective vaccine, and they managed to introduce some to the worldwide populations. The world faces challenges on a day-to-day basis until most people are vaccinated.

This paper analyses the problem of the kinematic singularity of 6 DOF serial robots by extending the use of Monte-Carlo numerical methods to visualize singularity configurations. To achieve this goal, first, forward kinematics and D-H parameters have been derived for the manipulator. Second, the derived equations are used to generate and visualize a workspace that gives a good intuition of the motion shape of the manipulator. Third, the Jacobian matrix is computed using graphical methods, aiming to locate positions that cause singularity. Finally, the data obtained are processed in order to visualize the singularity and to design a trajectory free of singularity. MATLAB robotics toolbox, Symbolic toolbox, and curve fitting toolbox are the MATLAB toolboxes used in the calculations. The results of the surface and contour plots of the determinate of the Jacobian matrix behavior lead to design a manipulator’s trajectory free of singularity and show the parameters that affect the manipulator’s singularity and its behavior in the workspace.
