This paper overviews the potential application of robotics for retrieval of radioactive wastes from storage tanks. In a relatively unstructured work environment, intelligent robotics control is needed that allows considerable operator freedom yet adjusts details of the operation to accomplish the real objective. This requires the control system to have cognizance of the world environment as well as the special needs of each end-effector.
