Radiation-hardened microcomputers for robotics and teleoperated systems
Abstract
Future applications of robots for Environmental Restoration and Waste Management will require radiation-hardened high-performance 32-bit microcomputers for advanced control and sensory integration. With the winding down of many programs sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, it is important to select carefully microprocessors for projects that will mature (or will require continued support) several years in the future. Other studies have examined a broad range of radiation-hardened microprocessors available. However, at present there are only six candidate rad-hard 32-bit processors that should be considered for long-range planning for high-performance systems. For U.S. Department of Energy applications, it is also important to consider efforts at standardization that require the use of the VxWorks operating system and hardware based on the VMEbus.
