Reducing consumed power of a robotic machine has an essential role in enhancing its energy efficiency and must be considered during its design process. This paper deals with dynamic modeling and power optimization of a four-degrees-of-freedom flight simulator machine. Simulator cabin of the machine has yaw, pitch, roll and heave motions produced by a 4RPSP+PS parallel manipulator (PM). Using the Euler–Lagrange method, a closed-form dynamic equation is derived for the 4RPSP+PS PM, and its power consumption is computed on the entire workspace. Then, a newly introduced optimization algorithm called multiobjective golden eagle optimizer is utilized to establish a Pareto front of optimal designs of the manipulator having a relatively larger workspace and lower power consumption. The results are verified through numerical examples.
