Development of the System of Robotic Complexes for Technical Centers of Russian Ministry of Atomic Industry

摘要

This paper covers the composition, description, technical characteristics and test results of a system of robotic complexes (SRC). These systems were developed for technical centers of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Industry to operate in areas exposed to radioactive contamination and other environments hazardous for people. Specialized transport robots (STR-1) used as a base for the SRC employed quite successfully in the clean-up operation following the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (NPP) accident. The requirements and results of this application are analyzed.
