In order to implement the generated topology, the performance is also imperative to analyse beforehand. Unlike theconventional components of regular geometry, the performance for a topologically optimized component is notpossible, as the optimal topologies for different boundary conditions are entirely different. It imposes a condition onthe designer to predict the performance theoretically or experimentally before practical application. To focus on thisissue, a universal experimental setup is proposed which is not available ready in industrial market that can help inanalysing the experimental performance of an optimized link. An experimental setup is established to capture thecurrent, torque, and Von-Mises stress values. EtherCAT and PLC-based automation systems are established to actuatethe manipulator-link at a precise speed and position [11]. HMI is used for easy operation of the robot control fromthe user end, which is tagged to PLC function blocks [12]. DAQ system is incorporated into the experimental setup tocapture the strain data through LABVIEW software. For the experiment, a single DOF manipulator link is optimizedusing the SIMP approach with the consideration of dynamic loading. A MATLAB algorithm is developed to calculatethe performance magnitudes, such as maximum deflection and Von-Mises stress. This work is focused on the staticanalysis of the manipulator-link, considering the worst loading situation. This method can be extended to anymechanism of the rigid mechanical member such as; industrial manipulator links, four-bar mechanism, and slidercrank mechanism, etc. [13]. The details of the topology optimization of the manipulator-link are detailed in the nextsection
