We presented a semi-autonomous disassembly workflow that overlays mixed reality (MR) instructions onto the workspace, helping operators supervise complex EV battery pack breakdowns while the robot handles routine steps.
System Overview
- MR headsets visualise robot trajectories, disassembly order, and torque requirements, reducing the need to switch attention between displays.
- Shared autonomy lets the robot execute scripted behaviours while operators intervene through gestural or voice cues.
- Computer vision tracks component positions so that the MR overlays stay registered to physical hardware.
Takeaways
- MR feedback improved situational awareness and shortened recovery time when anomalies were introduced.
- Variable autonomy allowed the cell to escalate assistance from guidance to full teleoperation when needed.
- The approach demonstrates how XR can compress training time for technicians newly joining recycling lines.
