Large quantities of mixed/low-level radioactive waste contained in 55-, 85-, and 110-gallon steel drums are stored at DOE warehouses throughout US. The steel drums are placed on pallets and stacked on top of one another, forming a column of drums ranging in heights of one to five drums and up to 16 feet. The columns of drums are aligned in rows forming aisles about 3 feet wide between the rows of drums. Many tens of thousands of drums are stored in these warehouses. ARIES (Autonomous Robotic Inspection Experimental System) is under development for DOE to survey and inspect these drums. The mobile robot will autonomously navigate through the warehouse and the aisles and perform an inspection operation, typically performed by a human operator, making decisions about the condition of the drums and maintaining a database of pertinent information about each drum.
