Abstract

Robots are one of the most commonly used automated material handling equipment (MHE) in an industry, installed to perform a variety of hazardous and repetitive tasks, e.g., loading, unloading, pick-and-place operations, etc. The selection of an appropriate industrial robot is influenced by a number of subjective and objective factors that define its characteristics and working accuracy. As a result, robot selection can be regarded as a multi-criteria decision-making problem. In this article, a new hybrid MCDM model combining COPRAS and ARAS is developed to execute an industrial robot selection process based on three alternatives and five criteria. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is integrated to compute the parametric weights. It is discovered that Robot 3 and Robot 1 are coming out to be the best and worst alternative robots from this hybrid model. Finally, comparative analysis among eight other MCDM tools and sensitivity analysis are also performed to assess the stability and robustness of the developed hybrid model and other applied MCDM tools.
