Title: Modular Robotics for Delivering On-Site contamination Sensors and Mapping Systems to Difficult-to-Access Locations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:781188

Presently, characterization operations are scheduled for thousands of facilities and pieces of equipment throughout DOE sites, each of which requires manual surveying with handheld instruments and manual record keeping. Such work, particularly in difficult-to-access-areas, results in significant amounts of worker exposure, long timelines and additional secondary waste generation. Therefore, a distinct need exists for remote tools that can quickly deploy sensors and automated contamination mapping systems into these areas.
