Implementation of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)as a Decision-Making Tool for Selection of Materials for the Robot Arm

摘要

Material selection is the establishment of all engineering applications and structure. This selection procedure can be characterized by application requirements, possible materials, physical principles, and selection. The selection of materials is one of the most significant decisions in any project, impacts almost every aspect of a particular application. The decision maker needs to select the most suitable material for the industrial robotic arm in order to achieve the desired properties with minimum cost and specific application ability. This has turned out to be increasingly more convoluted because of expanding intricacy, propelled highlights and offices that are ceaselessly being consolidated into the robots by various makers. This paper mainly focuses on solving the selection of materials for the robotic problem using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the widely used multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods One of the main advantages of the AHP method is the relative ease with which it handles multiple criteria. In addition to this, AHP is easier to understand and it can effectively handle both qualitative and quantitative data.
