Abstract
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 and weaknesses of the different approaches to the RSP are summarized. A tabular framework is used to summarize the reviewed RSP models. For quick and easy reference, the table categorizes the models by application, solution approach, robot attributes considered, and selection criteria. We suggest directions for future researchKeywords
