DisMantleBot: Modular Robots for Dismantling EV Battery
- 2025 Honoree in Sustainability & Energy/Power, Robotics, Human Security for All
DisMantleBot is a cutting-edge modular robotic system designed for the efficient and precise dismantling of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries. DisMantleBot determines the optimal disassembly level—complete or partial—based on battery grades and selects the appropriate disassembly methods, such as separation and cutting. The system systematically disassembles battery packs into modules, modules into cells, and cells into components like anodes, cathodes, and separators. Additionally, DisMantleBot carefully disassembles all related components—battery covers, wires, hoses, connectors, cushioning materials, bolts, and nuts—ensuring a thorough and meticulous dismantling process. Users customize and deploy multiple units according to their specific needs and quantities.
