Abstract
In this paper, a multi-objective optimization process is proposed in order to enhance the design of service robots. Main characteristics and peculiarities of service tasks are investigated in order to propose design criteria in the form of computationally efficient objective functions. Then, these design criteria are implemented in a multi-objective optimization algorithm in order to obtain optimal design solutions for service robots. The proposed procedure has been applied to a robotic arm for service tasks that is composed of two modules having altogether four degrees of freedom (dofs
