Development of a Robotic Spider for Remote Characterisation and Retreivals
Lead Participant:
FORTH ENGINEERING (CUMBRIA) LIMITED
Abstract
This project aims to develop a remote mobile cutting and retrieval platform for the decommissioning of legacy storage facilities based around a robotic spider. Access to the storage facilities is often limited, so a robot which can move around and retrieve the waste would speed up the process. It is envisaged that such a vehicle could be used in both dry and wet storage facilities
