Mechatronics and robotics

parts and materials. 
Storing
Robots that have been used in certain hazardous operations such as 
inside nuclear power plants may never get proper disposal due to the nature 
of the work they have to do. When they are retired or break down, 
replacement is done and the old robot is moved to a storage area within the 
secured perimeter. 
Exploration robots are also never built for cycling since there fate is 
not predictable. Robots on the moon and mars are some example of these 
kinds of irretrievable robots. 
Back on earth the problem is getting bigger with the risk of 
contamination of water reservoirs and underground water by harmful 
elements that are contained within the artificial intelligence and sensors 
that controls the robots mobility and precision. People who are 
environmentally conscious have created innovative ways by which they 
can contribute to reducing pollution.

Retired Robots and Art
Artists have begun using them in designs to decorate offices, 
businesses, and homes and parks. Some of these innovative artists create 
sculpture depicting different scenarios that modern day people face on a 
daily bases. Some interior decorators use retired robots which have been 
extracted of all harmful elements to decorate robot enthusiasts homes and 
rooms with them. Robotic arms used for welding can be used as lamp 
holders or as a coat rest. 
The Problem of E-Waste
With the world population increasing on a daily basis and demand 
for produces and resources increasing, there is urgency now more than ever 
to act responsibly towards e-waste. With few recycling plants distributed 
around the world and more e-waste being produced on a daily basis 
humanity has to think twice before we find ourselves buried in the waste 
itself. 
With proper management and financial support, e-waste like used 
robots can be recycled and extracted parts can be reused on other models 
of robots. This requires a lot of time and man power since they need to be 
dismantled piece by piece in order to perform the job correctly.
