“…This way, preprocessing and calculation are performed on the precedence relations rather than a particular assembly or disassembly sequence. Such a software could be developed together with the relevant state-transition functionalities using the procedures introduced in [25], where the required parameter-input interfaces are available for a variety of simulation platforms. The main challenges involved in computer-aided process planning arise from the economical, technological and geometrical constraints.…”

Despite their contributions to the financial efficiency and environmental sustainability of industrial processes, robotic assembly and disassembly have been understudied in the existing literature. This is in contradiction to their importance in realizing the Fourth Industrial Revolution. More specifically, although most of the literature has extensively discussed how to optimally assemble or disassemble given products, the role of other factors has been overlooked. For example, the types of robots involved in implementing the sequence plans, which should ideally be taken into account throughout the whole chain consisting of design, assembly, disassembly and reassembly. Isolating the foregoing operations from the rest of the components of the relevant ecosystems may lead to erroneous inferences toward both the necessity and efficiency of the underlying procedures. In this paper we try to alleviate these shortcomings by comprehensively investigating the state-of-the-art in robotic assembly and disassembly. We consider and review various aspects of manufacturing and remanufacturing frameworks while particularly focusing on their desirability for supporting a circular economy.
