Abstract

The concentrated sunlight is very important because the amount of energy is very high and concentrated in a very small area. In this situation, the heating is a big issue and in order to make safe measurements a remote controlled robot is needed. This robot will assume the duty of protect the measured sample and to expose for a precise time to the concentrated sun. Also for easy operating, all the duties including the initial conditions, triggering the measurements, and conditioning the signals must be assured by the robot.
