When the two arms of the robot are transporting the heavy loads together, a new parallel mechanism is formed.,e actuator input selection and optimization of the parallel mechanism are basic and important problems in mechanism research. In this paper, a 2- RPPPS dual-arm robot is taken as the research object. Firstly, based on the screw theory and input selection principle, 158 reasonable schemes are obtained. ,en, an evaluation mechanism is established to screen out the schemes that do not conform to the input selection principle. ,en, the end effector of the parallel mechanism moves along two different trajectories. Using the particle swarm optimization algorithm, the inverse kinematics solution of each trajectory is obtained, and the velocity and acceleration of each actuator under different trajectories are obtained. Finally, the motion stability of each actuator is evaluated, and the best scheme is selected. ,e results show that the best input scheme can be selected according to different trajectories, so as to improve the performance of the parallel mechanism. To the authors’ knowledge, no one has done any research on selecting the appropriate input scheme according to the trajectory of the end effector.
