The technological advances in artificial intelligence and robotics allow the massive
introduction of service robots by travel, tourism and hospitality companies. While research …

The classical economic production lot size (EPL) model assumes a constant production rate
that is predetermined and inflexible, and perfect quality. Recent models have removed the …

A deterministic quantitative model based on Distance Based Approach (DBA) method has
been developed for evaluation, selection and ranking of robots, which is a concept hitherto …

Research on the industrial robot selection problem (RSP) has received increased attention
in the past decade. In this paper, RSP models are reviewed and classified. The strengths …

Abstract The problem of Robot Selection is of great relevance in the present times of
automation. Traditionally such problems were addressed using conventional techniques of …

The economic lot and delivery scheduling problem is to simultaneously determine the
production sequence of several assembly components at a supplier and the delivery interval …

Industrial robots are increasingly used by many manufacturing firms. The number of robot
manufacturers has also increased, with many now offering a wide range of robots. A …

Equipment selection plays a major role in the performance of machining/assembly cells.
Based on analytical algorithms, a decision support system (DSS) is developed to select …

The purpose of this paper is to show how statistical procedures can be used to design
robotic assembly cells. The proposed methodologyhas two stages. In the first stage, a fuzzy …

A hybrid approach namely “fuzzy modified distance based approach (FMDBA)” is proposed
and presented for the selection and ranking of industrial robots, which is hitherto not applied …
