Abstract: 
In this article, a personal computer disassembly cell is presented. With this cell, a certain degree of automatism is afforded for the non-destructive disassembly process and for the recycling of these kinds of mass-produced electronic products. Each component of the product can be separated. The disassembly cell is composed of several sub-systems, each of which is dedicated to the planning and execution of one type of task. A computer vision system is employed for the recognition and localisation of the product and of each of its components. The disassembly system proposed here also has a modelling system for the products and each of its components, the information necessary for the planning of tasks, generating the disassembly sequence and planning of the disassembly movements. These systems co-operate with each other to achieve a semi-automatic disassembly of the product.
