A KE, DSM and ISM Based Approach for Patrol Robot Development

Abstract

Safety systems and regular environmental patrols are very important for plant safety management, In order to solve personnel patrols in dangerous and harsh environments, this study designs and develops patrol robot to assist in environmental patrols and collaboration. So that we adopted a product image analysis used in Kansei Engineering (KE) to analconsumers’ preferences regarding product design images for conceptual design, and then applies design structure matrix (DSM) and interpretive structural model (ISM) for product design and planning. An implementation of using KE, DSM and ISM to create patrol robot and assist in environmental patrols.
