Advanced Servo Manipulator: a Milestone in Remote Handling Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Future nuclear installations would need a higher level of remotisation and automation, to improve their safety and productivity. Plants using Thorium-based fuels introduce additional problems in remote handling, due to the build-up of radioactivity in the U-232 decay chain. In such plants, operators can handle the material only behind thick shields, using reliable and advanced remote handling tools. In this context, we have recently developed an Advanced Servo Manipulator (ASM), based on in-house mechanical design and indigenous drives and controllers.

Ergonomic Analysis of a Telemanipulation Technique for a Pyroprocess Demonstration Facility
Teleoperation is the performance of a task or action from a distance. Although, in this sense, teleoperation can be applied to any operation performed from a distance, the term is most commonly associated with robotics and mobile robots and indicates the operation of such machines from a place far from the location of the machine [1]. Several factors are involved in a teleoperated robotic syste...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Remote Handling System in an Integrated Pyroprocessing Facility
Over the course of a decade-long research programme, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has developed several remote handling systems for use in pyroprocessing research facilities. These systems are now used successfully for the operation and maintenance of processing equipment. The most recent remote handling system is the bridge-transported dual arm servo-manipulator system (B...
متن کاملA Robust PID Control Algorithm for a Servo Manipulator with Friction
A servo manipulator system has been developed for remotely handling radioactive materials in a hot cell [1]. Unlike a robot manipulator, a servo manipulator is monitored and controlled by an operator all the time. A robot manipulator performs a taught or programmed task without an operator. Generally, a servo manipulator consists of a master arm and a slave arm. The slave arm is a device for wo...

This paper describes the Chimera II Real-time Operating System, which has been developed for advanced sensor-based control applications. It has been designed as a local operating system, to be used in conjunction with a global operating system. It executes on one or more single board computers in a VMEbus-based system. Advanced sensor-based control systems are both statically and dynamically re...
متن کاملVisual Control of a Pneumatic Driven Manipulator for the Biomedical Technology
This study described a two axes pneumatic driven manipulator, which is driven by the servo cylinder. Through visual image technology, the position between the tip of the probe and the target was determined. Therefore, the visual servo can be produced the control command. A fuzzy controller with a dead zone compensator was designed to improve the position precision of a nonlinear pneumatic drive...
