Über dieses Buch

This book presents a number of aspects to be considered in the development of disassembly automation, including the mechanical system, vision system and intelligent planner. The implementation of cognitive robotics increases the flexibility and degree of autonomy of the disassembly system. Disassembly, as a step in the treatment of end-of-life products, can allow the recovery of embodied value left within disposed products, as well as the appropriate separation of potentially-hazardous components. In the end-of-life treatment industry, disassembly has largely been limited to manual labor, which is expensive in developed countries. Automation is one possible solution for economic feasibility. The target audience primarily comprises researchers and experts in the field, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
End-of-life (EOL) treatment is a main stage in the life cycle of a product, and often aims to recover the remaining embodied value of the disposed products. Disassembly is a key activity in efficient EOL treatment. This chapter presents the general idea of the disassembly of products in view of EOL treatment. An introduction of the current research interest in this field, especially disassembly automation, is provided.

Chapter 2. General Disassembly Process
Abstract
The economic feasibility of the disassembly process is a main issue restricting its implementation in industry practice. Much research in the planning of disassembly processes and operations has been conducted in order to increase its economic feasibility. This chapter presents various aspects of the disassembly process including product representation, disassembly sequence planning (DSP), and dismantling techniques. This general knowledge is not limited to manual disassembly, but is also useful in automatic disassembly, which is presented in the following chapter.

Chapter 3. Disassembly Automation
Abstract
Disassembly is one of the key steps in the efficient treatment of End-Of-Life products, however has generally been neglected in industry practice due to cost constraints. This is because disassembly has traditionally been restricted to manual labour. Automation assisting or substituting for human workers may be a lower-cost option. However, the associated technical challenges need to first be addressed. This chapter presents the principle of disassembly automation, as well as the basic elements needed in a disassembly system. A number of research works in regard to automated disassembly systems and innovative disassembly tools are also described.

Chapter 4. Vision System
Abstract
Any system that needs to make dynamic decisions based on a variable situation requires some form of perception. The system must first determine what the current situation is before it can appropriately react to this situation. The system of sensing, recognising, and localising objects of disassembly, its components and/or fastening elements at a distance is referred to here as the vision system. This chapter provides an introduction to the requirements and considerations for the implementation of a vision system for autonomous disassembly.

Chapter 5. Cognitive Robotics
Abstract
Uncertainties and variations in returned End-of-Life (EOL) products result in complexity at the planning and the operation levels of automated disassembly. These have become critical obstacles in disassembly automation, which lacks the flexibility and robustness of manual disassembly. In this chapter, the principle of cognitive robotics is implemented in disassembly automation, to overcome these problems by emulating the behaviour of human operators. The methodology, framework, and cognitive functionalities with regard to the disassembly domain are explained in this chapter.

Chapter 6. Implementation and Case-Study
Abstract
The automated disassembly system consists of three main operation modules presented in Chaps. 3–5. In this chapter, procedures for system integration and the development of each module are described in detail, with regard to a cognitive robotic disassembly system designed for disassembling a case-study product, the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen. Finally, the performance of the proposed system is validated by experiments which demonstrate the flexibility and robustness of the system.

Chapter 7. Conclusions
Abstract
This chapter presents the final conclusions regarding disassembly automation in general and the cognitive robotic disassembly system developed in this research. The technical aspects of this research, the results and the lessons learned are summarised. In light of this, our conclusions and direction for future work are also presented.
