Nuclear Safety & Decommissioning

Revolutionising Extreme Environments with 0% Risk

To safeguard humans in dangerous jobs by enabling workers to use our humanlike robot Hands.
Use our teleoperation systems in the decommissioning of nuclear sites and remediation of contamination land.
Our system can fit a range of glove boxes and can install within a company at minimal cost with little to no interruption to your workers.

Alpha Glovebox Decommissioning Challenge

Working with NNL we developed an approach to remove the human operator from a high-risk procedure, improve productivity and improve the efficiency of waste packing.

How it works

How Does it Work?

The teleoperation solution is set-up at the desired location. In cases of a glove box, the Shadow Hand component inserts into existing glove ports.
The operator wears a glove with motion tracking capability which allows them to control the Shadow Hand at a safe distance, from a control room or even another vicinity.
The robot mimics the operator’s hand and arm movements, handling hazardous materials, so they don’t need to.
