Abstract
Disassembly is one of the key steps for effective treatment of end-of-life products. However, manual disassembly is usually not feasible in industrial practice for reasons of economic infeasibility. Disassembly automation with cognitive ability has been introduced in order to resolve this problem. Execution monitoring is one of the primary functions making the system aware of the current condition and the consequences of execution. A vision system with RGB-D space is used for sensing the conditions of the product in this study.
