Title: Evaluating Large and Lightweight Vision Models for Irregular Component Segmentation in E-Waste Disassembly

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.27441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Precise segmentation of irregular and densely arranged components is essential for robotic disassembly and material recovery in electronic waste (e-waste) recycling. This study evaluates the impact of model architecture and scale on segmentation performance by comparing SAM2, a transformer-based vision model, with the lightweight YOLOv8 network. Both models were trained and tested on a newly collected dataset of 1,456 annotated RGB images of lapt
