This paper presents an integrated intuitive system for disassembly planning by actively tracking the motion of an experienced operator. It can also be used for operators training by combining a virtual reality (VR) environment with the motion tracking. The developed conceptual prototype for disassembly planning and training enables individuals to interact with a virtual environment in real time. It extends the technology of motion tracking and integrates it with virtual environment technology to create real-time virtual work cell simulations in which disassembly operators may be immersed with hands-on experiences. In addition to the operators training, the experimental results to date are presented to demonstrate the potential contributions of human skills in achieving effective disassembly planning for remanufacturing. It is expected that this approach will lead to environment-friendly and sustainable operations by conserving energy and cost that are first tested in a human-emerged virtual system.
