Title: Robotics on KM-IT platform - 19107

Conference ·
OSTI ID:23002926

The Knowledge Management Information Tool (KM-IT) is a web-based system developed to maintain and preserve the Department of Energy's (DoE's) knowledge base. The system was developed by Florida International University's Applied Research Center (FIU-ARC) with the support of the D and D community including the DOE Office of Environmental Management, and with the collaboration and support of the DoE's Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG) and the former ALARA Centers at Hanford and Savannah. The KM-IT system is a community driven system tailored to serve the technical issues faced by the workforce across the DOE Complex. This KM-IT web-based interactive system is operational and available for use at www.dndkm.org and is currently comprised of the following modules: Web Crawler, Hotline, Technology, Hanford's ALARA Center Reports, Specialist Directory, Lessons Learned, Best Practices, Video/Picture Library, Vendors and Industry News. The Web Crawler dynamically searches through the KM-IT repository as well as the web and displays search results based on the search criteria. The Hotline allows registered users to post questions/problems related to D and D and to receive solutions from a subject-matter specialist. The Technology module serves as repository of D and D technologies and contains technology/ demonstration fact sheets and vendor information. D and D community members can add Lessons Learned, Best Practices, and Pictures/Videos to the D and D repository, after a formal approval process. The Vendor module provides a directory of commercial vendors who provide D and D related technologies, supplies, and services. KM-IT makes an excellent use of the knowledge that exists within the D and D community by allowing D and D project managers around the DOE complex to collaborate by sharing innovative ideas, past experiences, and practices and by maintaining a directory of subject matter specialists. FIU is working on developing a new knowledge base using the existing KM-IT framework to provide focused information on robotics. FIU will develop the robotics technology and vendor modules to provide information related to robotics technologies and its application to many different areas including D and D, remote systems and waste processing. This robotics knowledge base will provide the ability to search through the information repository as well as display customized summary information including robotics technology descriptions, benefits, limitations, videos and pictures. The vendor module will provide information related to industry vendors for these technologies and include updated vendor contact information. The vendor module will also provide a search capability based on keywords as well as categories. The robotics knowledge base will publish commercially available technologies as well as the technologies that are still in the research and development phase with national laboratories and academic universities. The robotics KM-IT will be developed in phases to support all of the features of the KM-IT platform and will be published on www.rkmit.org. (authors)
