Description

This paper discusses the results from several projects investigating the application of intelligent machine technologies to remote handling of nuclear waste casks and materials. The importance of computer models of the robot, its environment and their interactions is focused upon. Integration of such models into the sensor based control of robot systems results in significant increases in the capabilities of commercial robots by allowing tuning of robot performance to the task
