The purpose of this investigation was to develop and establish the feasibility of employing indutrial robots to reliably perform operations of a hazardous nature. The project was divided into three tasks: Task one was assigned to Stanford Research Institute (SRI). The objective was to develop a system by which a robot, with limited operator assistance, would be able to locate, grasp, and remove objects in an unpredictable location. Task two was assigned to Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA). Its objective was to determine the feasibility of using industrial robots to perform on-line functions in a hazardous production environment. Task three was an in-house project at Edgewood Arsenal (EWA). Its objective was to determine the feasibility of using industrial robots to assemble items made up of explosive or other dangerous components. The results of all investigations indicated that industrial robots could successfully perform the assigned tasks in hazardous areas. (Stoehr)
