Description

In order to upgrade safety and reliability of nuclear power plants it is very important to develop a system of early detection of anomalies and realize adequate inspections responding to them. Based on accumulated basic technologies of cooperative active sensing systems for autonomous inspection mobile robots having active visual sensing and acoustic sensors with movable lighting and intelligent multimodal systems, 3D data processing visualization transmission technologies have been incorporated for compact storage of time and space dependent enormous inspection knowledge base. Surrounding server, simulating plant's environments with mobile robots and mockup systems, has been prepared and tested to realize this concept. Long-term operation of the server will be needed to accumulate inspection database and their efficient utilization. (T. Tanaka)
