The article examines the solution of intelligent robotic utilization of electrical waste and electronic equipment (WEEE), as means of materials recovery. The paper provides criteria for selection, identification and waste analysis, enabling application of robotic dismantling solutions. Based on proposed criteria, the waste of computer hard disk drives (HDD) was identified, analyzed, and their characteristics described. Furthermore applying described approach to robotized dismantling, the complete process of waste HDD processing, covering all the procedural steps was presented for the selected disk. Described intelligent utilization process can be performed with use of 2 robots equipped with, 2 tools and one conveyor handle. Authors also briefly presents issues related to proposed process approached during HDD waste disassembly studies. In addition, paper presents the quantities of materials to be recovered from the HDD waste.
