OVER 10 YEARS IN THE MAKING

For any challenges that may occur, the recently delivered robots are equipped with a new solution for remote controlled manoeuvring up to 3,000m away, with three different control systems and specially developed software for efficient gamma detection. It’s hard to think of an environment where remote control operation is more critical than in a nuclear plant as the spread of radiation is unpredictable and in order to assure the safety for the operators, long distance manoeuvring is crucial. Through the development of a relay station ROBOT has made it possible to efficiently operate the robot from a 3,000m.

The relay station is a standalone unit that is powered by a battery pack and holds a 5m telescopic mast. The mast is equipped with a 360º camera and an antenna that provides the robot with a 1,000m remote controlled line of sight that is completely wireless. The station is attached to the robot with a hydraulic trailer connection designed to unhitch with the press of a button from the control room.
