Abstract : This study explores AI-powered robotic systems for e-waste recycling. The proposed system combines advanced AI algorithms with robotic hardware to identify, disassemble, and sort electronic components autonomously. Experiments show a 35% increase in disassembly speed and 28% improvement in component identification accuracy compared to manual methods. The system demonstrates adaptability to various device types and safe handling of hazardous materials. Economic analysis suggests a 40% potential cost reduction at scale. These findings indicate that AI-robotic systems could significantly address the global e-waste crisis, improving resource recovery and environmental sustainability.
