As part of this project, Liebherr is developing strategies and processes for the automated disassembly of high-voltage battery systems and assessing the automation capability of used battery systems.

Battery pack disassembly is a part of this field of applications as a practical approach to pre-serving operators'' safety and health by coping with the high variability of products [38, 64]. However, most authors agree that a fully automatic battery pack disassembly is not feasible with the current constraints [17, 21, 37, 41, 56].

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.
According to the degree of automation, the battery disassembly process can be divided into several categories, namely manual disassembly, semi-automatic disassembly, and fully automated disassembly. Automated disassembly has gradually become a significant trend since there are certain safety risks in the disassembly process.
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.
