Hybrid Task and Motion Planning with Reactive Collision Handling for Multi-Robot Disassembly of Complex Products: Application to EV Batteries

arXiv:2509.21020v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of multi-robot coordination for complex manipulation task sequences. We present a vision-driven task-and-motion planning (TAMP) framework for a real dual-agent platform that integrates task decomposition and allocation with a learning-based RRT planner. A GMM-informed motion planner is coupled with a hybrid safety layer that combines predictive collision checking in a MoveIt/FCL digital twin with reactive vision-based avoidance and replanning. This integration is challenging as the system jointly satisfies task precedence, geometric feasibility, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and dual-arm coordination constraints. The framework operates in closed loop by updating the remaining task sequence from repeated scene scans and completion-state tracking rather than executing a fixed open-loop plan. In EV battery disassembly experiments, compared with Default-RRTConnect under identical perception and task assignments, the proposed system reduces cumulative end-effector path length from 48.8 to 17.9~~m (-63.3%), improves makespan from 467.9 to 429.8~~s (-8.1%), and reduces swept volumes (R1: 0.583rightarrow0.139,m^3, R2: 0.696rightarrow0.252,m^3) and overlap (0.064rightarrow0.034,m^3). These results show that combining predictive planning and reactive collision avoidance in a real dual-arm disassembly scenario improves motion compactness, safety, and scalability to broader multi-robot sequential manipulation tasks.
