This project is a BSc final thesis study under supervision of Grimbergen with support of Aethos.

This study investigates the technical and commercial feasibility of using robotic technology to disassemble in stead of dismantling an aircraft into the purest possible division of substructures and alloys. The primary objective is to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the disassembly process, minimizing material contamination and maximizing the value of recovered materials.

The methodology involves an analysis of current disassembly practices, to see how an existing robotic system could be used, and a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution.
