About
Dr. Mathijs Piessens is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and sustainable manufacturing, with a primary focus on robotic disassembly and remanufacturing. His work addresses the critical challenge of automating the dismantling of complex products—particularly e-waste and battery systems—to enable circular economy practices. Dr. Piessens’ major contributions include developing the **Robotic Ease of Disassembly Metric (Re-DiM)**, a novel framework that quantifies how easily a product can be disassembled by robots, specifically applied to flexible cooperative remanufacturing of bike batteries. He has also advanced screw detection methodologies, comparing coarse-to-fine and multimodal fusion approaches to improve robotic precision in disassembly tasks. His most cited paper, “Towards robotic disassembly: A comparison of coarse-to-fine and multimodal fusion screw detection methods” (2024), has already garnered 7 citations, signaling growing impact in this emerging field. By bridging robotics, computer vision, and sustainable engineering, Dr. Piessens is laying the groundwork for automated, scalable remanufacturing systems that reduce waste and extend product lifecycles—a vital contribution as industries seek to transition toward a circular economy.
