DESIGN EVALUATION WITH MECHATRONICS INDEX USING THE DISCRETE CHOQUET INTEGRAL

In this paper the mechatronics index for design evaluation is modelled using the discrete Choquet Integral where the interaction among the criteria is taken into account. In use of fuzzy measures the complexity is shown and it is compensated by the richness of them when interactive criteria are modelled. The weighted arithmetic mean and the discrete Choquet Integral are compared for the calculation of the evaluation score in the mechatronics design of grippers for handling fabrics in order to show its effectiveness in the evaluation.
