Supervising and controlling remote robot systems currently requires many specialised operators to have
knowledge of the internal state of the system in addition to the environment. For applications such as
remote maintenance of future nuclear fusion reactors, the number of robots (and hence supervisors)
required to maintain or decommission a fac…
Remote inspection of a complex environment is a difficult, time consuming task for human operators to perform. The need to manually avoid obstacles whilst considering other
performance factors i.e. time taken, joint effort and information gained represents significant challenges to continuous operation. This paper proposes an autonomous robotic so…
