Modular Arms
for Plutonium Glovebox Operations
(Tech ID 2068 )

This Robotics Crosscutting Program (Rbx) will develop technologies that will enable automation to function in plutonium glovebox and hot cell operations.2068 Glovebox Modular Arm The principle technology developed in this program will be deployable robotics that operate in the confined and harsh environments of glovebox, hot cells, and permacon operations. The program will coordinate with other DOE efforts to accomplish the development and testing of modular automation concepts that will enable the deployment of robotics into high-exposure/confined environments with increased mean-time-between failure, serviceability, and operations capability.
