The Robotics Development Group at the Savannah River Laboratory is developing a teleoperated mobile robotic vehicle for use in a broad range of applications. The basic design criteria are to develop a highly maneuverable, weatherproof mobile robotic arms as well as a wide array of environmental sensors. Planned uses of this robotic vehicle include radiation monitoring and logging, decontamination activities, and surveillance. The main justifications for mobile robotic vehicle development at Savannah River are the prevention of radiation exposure and contamination to personnel. This paper discusses the development of a multipurpose mobile robot to be used for remote tasks and emergency response applications. 2 refs., 8 figs. (ERA citation 14:015625)
