Sven Coutandin

About

Sven Coutandin is a researcher focused on sustainable manufacturing and automation, with key contributions in the disassembly of electric vehicle (EV) drivetrain components and advanced robotic systems. His most cited work, "Concepts and Requirements for Flexible Disassembly Systems for Drive Train Components of Electric Vehicles" (2021, 46 citations), addresses the critical end-of-life challenge for battery electric vehicles, proposing flexible disassembly systems to recover valuable resources from drivetrain components—a vital step for recycling and remanufacturing in the circular economy. Coutandin also explores additive manufacturing innovations, such as the "Additives Roboter-Extrusions-System" (2021), which uses industrial robots with printing end-effectors to overcome limitations in build volume and surface quality. His research extends to preforming processes for UD-tape reinforcements and safe human-robot collaboration, including a 360° LiDAR system for collision avoidance (2019). These works demonstrate his impact on efficient, safe, and sustainable production technologies, with applications spanning EV lifecycle management and automated manufacturing.
