Optimisation of Robotic Disassembly for Remanufacturing

This book illustrates the main characteristics, challenges, and optimization requirements of robotic disassembly. It provides a comprehensive insight into two crucial optimization problems through a group of unified mathematical models. Classical metaheuristics are introduced to identify a generic solution under different circumstances. Practical case studies are provided to help practitioners design efficient robotic disassembly with minimal manual operation, and comparisons of the state-of-the-art metaheuristics are offered.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in robotic disassembly, as it provides a comprehensive insight into the main characteristics, challenges, and optimization requirements of this process. It offers a unified mathematical framework to address two crucial optimization problems in the areas of robotic disassembly, namely, the online and offline optimization of the operational sequence to dismantle a product. Through a list of conflicting objectives and constraints, it enables decision-makers and robots to match the situation automatically and efficiently.

To identify a generic solution under different circumstances, classical metaheuristics are introduced in detail, and a flexible framework is presented to implement existing metaheuristics for sequence planning and line balancing in the context of robotic disassembly.

Optimisation of Robotic Disassembly for Remanufacturing also includes practical case studies on typical product instances to help practitioners design efficient robotic disassembly with minimal manual operation. It offers comparisons of the state-of-the-art metaheuristics on solving the key optimization problems, making it an essential resource for engineers, researchers, and postgraduate students in the area of remanufacturing.

In conclusion, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of robotic disassembly and optimize this process for remanufacturing applications. Its comprehensive coverage, mathematical framework, and practical examples make it an invaluable resource for professionals and students alike.
