  • Abstract
    This paper presents a conceptual study on flexible guidance and navigation solutions for a remote transport system to be used in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), as opposed to hard-guidance solutions such as rails. The kinematic structure of the transporters and guidance and navigation strategies are the main addressed issues
