Component and Subassembly Detection

This chapter discusses the need for component and subassembly detection for robotic disassembly and introduces a two-pointer detection strategy to find removable components and subassemblies online during disassembly. The strategy is shown to be quick and simple to use for disassembly sequence planning and replanning. Only an interference matrix is required at the beginning. It is applicable to not only complete disassembly, but also selective and partial disassembly. The strategy solves a special problem in disassembly planning, interlocking,which may cause disassembly planning to fail.
