Abstract

The Interactive Robotics Laboratory of CEA LIST is in charge of the development of remote technologies in order to meet the energy industry requirements. This paper reports the recent Research & Development activities in advanced remote systems for inspection or light intervention in hazardous environment with limited access as blind hot cells in nuclear fission industry and fusion facility vessels. A long reach carrier called Articulated Arm Inspection (AIA) will be described and current development of diagnostics and tools embedded for inspection or intervention will be presented.
