A Prototype of a Robotic Research Facility for Nuclear Applications

Abstract

This work presents the development of the prototype of a robotic nuclear monitoring facility aimed to support technological and scientific research. It is a terrestrial robot in which nuclear and conventional instrumentation are available and easy-to-use through a user-friendly library for Python programming. The facility may be teleoperated (by mobile devices, notebook or desktop) or operate in autonomous mode, in which a user-defined program run on robot CPU.
