Flexible multisensorial systems are a very important issue in the current industry when
disassembling and recycling tasks have to be performed. These tasks can be performed by
a human operator or by a robot system. In the current paper a…

Technical teaching often requires the use of expensive laboratory materials which are frequently beyond the reach of many students. Students are also required to go to laboratories, which offer the appropriate facilities, according to a strict timetable. For these reasons,…

An algorithm is presented that is based on a representation
method for products, which lets us show, intuitively, the hierarchical
relationships among components and/or assemblies of
the product. This paper presents an algorithm for establishing
a partial non-destructive disassembly sequence…

Industrial inspection problems usually require specific and highly complex solutions that can be implemented at a reasonable cost, what has produced a great research and development effort in the field of computer vision. Among these problems, inspection system for continuous…

The industrial revolution did not take the environment into
consideration when designing products. However, today
the eco-friendly design of products is a task that gets more
visibility due to the great quantity of industrial waste generated
to finalize the useful…

Virtual and remote laboratories have improved
learning and training in the academic community. They allow students to acquire methods, skills and experience related to real equipment in an intuitive and cost-effective way. The purpose of this paper is to present…

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…

This paper begins with a description on the state of the art of robotics education in Spain. We then
present our virtual environment and remote laboratory, whose principal component is RoboLab, a
system that allows the student to interact with…

An automatic disassembly cell requires of a
computer vision system for recognition and localization of
the products and each of theirs components. The detection
of occlusions adds more information to the knowledge base
to identify components and products, and generate…

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…
