Description
The University of Florida is part of a multi-university research effort, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, which is underway to develop and deploy an advanced semi-autonomous robotic system for use in nuclear power stations. The robotic system being designed by the Florida/Odetics team can be described . as an Articulated Transporter/Manipulator System (ATMS) which has several unique motion and transport capabilities. The ATMS will be capable of performing tasks in radioactive hazardous environments to reduce occupational radiation exposure of plant personnel and to increase the availability of the plant. This paper will describe the key design and control features of the ATMS with emphasis placed on the implementation of specific motion control algorithms.
