Abstract
Decommissioning of redundant radioactive facilities is a growing world wide activity engaging the nuclear industry. This paper reports the results of recent research and development into the use of industrial robots for decommissioning tasks. A brief discussion of the decommissioning problem domain compared with factory automation is followed by a description of the control system developed to utilise factory automation robotics
