In the present work, a methodology based on digraph and matrix methods is developed for evaluation of alternative industrial robots. A robot selection index is proposed that evaluates and ranks robots for a given industrial application. The index is obtained from a robot selection attributes function, obtained from the robot selection attributes digraph. The digraph is developed considering robot selection attributes and their relative importance for the application considered. A step by step procedure for evaluation of robot selection index is suggested. Coefficients of similarity and dissimilarity and the identification sets are also proposed. These are obtained from the robot selection attributes function and are useful for easy storage and retrieval of the data. Two examples are included to illustrate the approach. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
