Abstract

Purpose - Aims to report on the various types of tele-operated mobile service robots for remote inspection and maintenance, especially in the field of nuclear industry. Design/methodology/approach - Describes nuclear electric robot operator (NERO), Sizewell A duct inspection equipment (SADIE), Robug-IIs (all leg-based) and Roboslave (wheel-based). Findings - That these robots can handle a significant portion of inspection and maintenance tasks in a typical nuclear plant, though, given that they are primarily tailor-made, they are still too expensive for ordinary industries. Originality/value - As the interests of health and safety and paramount, this study sees the use of such robots expanding and diversifying, irrespective of cost. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
