Robotic disassembly
Dssassembly is a major step in remanfuacturing and recylcing. Disassembly can be expensive and labour-intensive.
My team has been exploring the use of robots to automate the disassembly of high-value products.
Key techniques developed:
- Active compliance and control
- Fleixble planning and replanning
- Human-machine interation and collaborations
- Smart sensors and actuators
Flexible automation processes
Conventional industrial automation deal with repetitive and structured processes.
We are developing automation systems that can deal with multiple products, and adjust hadware/programs accordingly.
Key techniques developed:
- Safety monitoring and control
- Fleixble reconfiguration
- Product database and process planner
