This paper presents a method for the lightweight design of robotic links subject to dynamic loads and requirements on the overall system stiffness. It includes (1) a decomposition scheme to enable separate component optimization and (2) an approach based on topology optimization for optimal load path design of screw connections. The approach reduces computing cost and mass of designs with screw connections.
