Assisted teleoperation for a dual-manipulator robot and coordination with aerial vehicles for nuclear decommissioning applications

This poster summarises research at Lancaster University into the modelling and control of mobile robots with application to nuclear decommissioning. The work is based on use of a mobile, hydraulically actuated robot, which is supported by information provided by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In part funded by the National Centre for Nuclear Robotics in the UK, the context for this research is the nuclear decommissioning challenge but the generic robotics results are relevant to other areas, such as new build and manufacturing.
