Abstract: Land, marine and airborne are the three types of military robots used in the war-field. Land robots are the most crucially considered robots. Selecting a military land robot for a specific purpose is one of the challenging problems for a decision-maker to find the most preferred alternative when it involves fuzziness and uncertainty. Intangible factors are used while selecting the appropriate robotic system as it effectively deals with fuzziness. Intuitionistic dense fuzzy set, which is the combination of intuitionistic fuzzy set and dense fuzzy set, is capable of dealing with intangible factors. This study aims to design the integrated model on intuitionistic dense fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS to choose the most preferable military land robots under various circumstances. Robots for different types of situations, namely bomb disposal, search and rescue, surveillance and reconnaissance and war-fighter are considered. Moreover, the intuitionistic dense fuzzy AHP is utilized to calculate the subjective weights of the criteria and intuitionistic dense fuzzy TOPSIS is used to rank the alternatives. Further, a sensitivity analysis is examined to demonstrate the quality of the outcome and the results are compared with the fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, and dense fuzzy set to show the efficiency of the proposed methodology.
