The European Spallation Source Active Cells Facility is a unique facility for processing highly radioactive
waste produced by the experiment. Due to the levels of radiation produced by the waste components combined
with the scale of operations, the facility was designed to be operated without windows, using robotic manipulation
systems and camer…
In the worlds of nuclear energy, mining, petrochemical processing, and sub-sea, robots are being used for an increasing number and range of tasks. This is resulting in ever more complex robotics installations being deployed, maintained, and extended over long periods of time. Additionally, the unstructured, experimental, or unknown operational cond…
