Robots can improve productivity, reduce costs, and increase the quality of work to be performed. In environments dangerous to human health, robots reduce the chance a worker may become fatigued and accidentally injured. Nowhere is this more evident than within the nuclear power industry, which relies on automated systems to reduce radiation exposures to their employees and to control costs. Robot design needs and motion programming are discussed.
