Enhanced teleoperation exhibiting tele-autonomy and tele-collaboration.

This paper presents enhanced remote manipulation of tools for D&D tasks by extending teleoperation with teleautonomy and tele-collaboration. This work builds on a reactive, agent-based control architecture, which is well suited to unstructured and unpredictable environments, and cobot control technology, which implements a virtual fixture that can be used to guide the application of tools with passive force-feedback control. Developed methodologies are tested using simulation, and then plan… more

Decontamination and decommissioning activities photobriefing book FY 2000.

A major milestone was reached in Fiscal Year (FY) 2000--the completion of the Chicago Pile-5 (CP-5) D and D Project. CP-5, the first reactor built on the Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E) site, was a 5-megawatt, heavy water-moderated, enriched uranium-fueled reactor. It was the principal reactor on the Argonne site used to produce neutrons for scientific research from 1954 to 1979. The reactor was shut down and defueled in 1979, and placed in a lay-up condition. In 1990, funding was prov… more

The VirtualwindoW for nuclear applications

Throughout the Department of Energy (DOE) complex there are numerous facilities which were constructed to research and develop nuclear materials during the cold war era. As a result, there are now many facilities such as reactors which require dismantlement and clean up. Technological advances over the past 10 years have significantly increased the state of computers, electronics and automated machinery. Because of this rapid growth, the technology of robotics has played a key role in clean up … more
