Currently, disassembly is usually done manually and is not non-destructive. More-over, the lack of labeling for the materials that are used hinders high-quality recycling. The DemoSens project, therefore, aims to develop an appropriate label and automated battery pack disassembly process. Figure 4 provides an overview of common challenges
In addition, there are also different functional systems in a pack, e.g., battery management system (BMS) and thermal management system. Many of these components and connections are difficult for robotic manipulation, such as flexible cables and connectors/fasteners difficult to access. Non-destructive disassembly methods, e.g., unscrewing

As battery disassembly is a dangerous task, efforts have been made to robotise it. In this paper, a robotic disassembly platform using four industrial robots is proposed to automate the non-destructive disassembly of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle battery pack into modules.
On the other hand, the non-destructive disassembly of EVBs is also challenging due to the prevalence of non-detachable joints in numerous components, such as welded busbars [, , ]. Additionally, unscrewing processes, which are another non-destructive disassembly method, present difficulties since screws are often rusted or stuck, making the

Current battery packs are not designed to be disassembled, spaces between modules are narrow, and joint technologies are mostly irreversible (e.g., glued parts, welded plates, one-way screws), bringing to a difficult non-destructive disassembly.
The analysis highlights that a complete automatic disassembly remains difficult, while human-robot collaborative disassembly guarantees high flexibility and productivity. The paper introduces guidelines for designing a robotic cell to disassemble a battery pack with the support of an operator.
Following the recommendations given after the safety analysis, as a specific potentially explosive atmosphere (ATEX) 3 zone, the battery pack was manually disassembled. The manual disassembly brought to a disassembly procedure which was decomposed and analysed to identify how to automate the same operations with a robot.
In, authors identified the four mandatory tasks: handling, separation, clamping, and monitoring to pursue the disassembly of the battery pack into modules. The robot needs at least one tool for each listed task. Several works analysed the disassembly, proposing the design of specific disassembly tools.
The design of the disassembly system must consider the analysis of potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) 1 of the area around the battery pack and, if necessary, adopt tools enabled to work in the corresponding ATEX zone.
