Abstract

A principle of cognitive robotics has been introduced to resolve the problems associated with the uncertainties and variations found in the automated disassembly process. The general plans are used to compensate the inaccurate information perceived by the sensors. They are used in the trial-and-error phase to remove particular types of main components according to cognitive behaviours. Statistical information is used to identify the operation plans and the parameters for (semi-)destructive disassembly. The effectiveness of these plans determines the success rate of the disassembly and the degree of autonomy. In this paper, PCBs and PCB cover in various model LCD screens were used as a case-study.
