Abstract :
Nuclear decommissioning involves the characterisation of hazardous and contaminated environments. Robot characterisation systems have been developed to reduce the risk to human operatives, however their efficiency is limited. Coming decades will see a substantial increase in decommissioning globally as a large number of nuclear facilities are due to reach the end of their useful life. It is desirable that robot characterisation systems meet this increase in demand by becoming more efficient. This paper describes an architecture that makes use of advances in computer science including mobile agent technology, which we believe will offer improved efficiency over existing robot characterisation systems.
