-    dangerous task for human workers. Automated E-waste recycling
-    is an area of great interest but challenging for current robotic
-    applications. We focus on the problem of segmenting inner parts
-    of E-waste devices into manipulable elements. First, we extend
-    a dataset of hard-drive disk (HDD) components with labelled
-    occluded and non-occluded points of view of the parts, in order
-    to increase the diversity and the quality of the learning data
-    with different angles. We then perform an extensive evaluation
-    with three different state-of-the-art models, namely CenterMask,
-    BlendMask and SOLOv2 (including variants) and two types of
-    metrics: the average precision as well as the frame rate. Our
-    results show that instance segmentation using state-of-the-art
-    deep learning methods can precisely detect complex shapes along
-    with their boundaries, as well as being suited for fast tracking of
-    parts in a robotic recycling system. (Rojas et  al. 2022)
