    Title: Human-robot collaboration for intelligent disassembly towards end-of-life product
    Abstract This research explores the integration of human-robot collaboration (HRC) in intelligent disassembly processes for end-of-life (EoL) products. The unpredictable condition and variety of returned items make full automation economically unviable. This work proposes a hybrid system where a robot performs precise, repetitive tasks and handles hazardous components, while a human operator provides high-level decision-making, adaptability, and dexterity for complex operations. Leveraging intelligent perception systems like computer vision and AI, the robot identifies products, assesses condition, and plans disassembly sequences in real-time. The collaborative framework ensures safety and efficiency through intuitive interfaces. This HRC approach significantly enhances productivity and reduces human exposure to hazardous environments, presenting a viable and sustainable model for modern recycling and circular economy initiatives.
