“…Providing tactile feedback to a human operator is another key factor in achieving safe and successful task completion in remote robotic manipulation. Traditional haptic interfaces can generate force or vibrotactile feedback to characterise the haptic properties of the remote environment; therefore, we have explored the use of simple vibration motors as a very affordable and portable solution [77][78][79][80][81]. However, very few of these solutions can simultaneously render force, texture, and shape.…”

Dealing safely with nuclear waste is an imperative for the nuclear industry. Increasingly, robots are being developed to carry out complex tasks such as perceiving, grasping, cutting, and manipulating waste. Radioactive material can be sorted, and either stored safely or disposed of appropriately, entirely through the actions of remotely controlled robots. Radiological characterisation is also critical during the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. It involves the detection and labelling of radiation levels, waste materials, and contaminants, as well as determining other related parameters (e.g., thermal and chemical), with the data visualised as 3D scene models. This paper overviews work by researchers at the QMUL Centre for Advanced Robotics (ARQ), a partner in the UK EPSRC National Centre for Nuclear Robotics (NCNR), a consortium working on the development of radiation-hardened robots fit to handle nuclear waste. Three areas of nuclear-related research are covered here: human–robot interfaces for remote operations, sensor delivery, and intelligent robotic manipulation.
