摘要
Two mobile robots for the inspection of radioactive areas in nuclear power plants are described. Robicen III is a compact pneumatic robot of 3kg designed for the inspection of radioactive cylindrical tanks. With a novel locomotive mechanism based on pneumatic actuators and suction pads, it is able to climb vertical walls at speeds close to 110 mm/s. MonoCaRob is a rail-guided autonomous robot for inspection in the drywell of BWR power plants. Copper rails and brushes provide a rugged and robust means for power supply and communications. A video camera and a variety of sensors can be carried by the robot during drywell inspections.
