A Robotic-Driven Disassembly Sequence Generator for End-Of-Life Electronic Products

In this study, we propose an intelligent automated disassembly cell for online (real time) selective disassembly. The cell is composed of an industrial robotic manipulator, a camera, range sensing and component segmentation visual algorithms. The cell prototype allows for robotic sensory-driven disassembly under uncertainty. An online genetic algorithm model for selective disassembly is also proposed for optimal and near/optimal disassembly sequencing.
