Some process applications performed in the nuclear industry with remote teleoperated vehicles and approaches of integrating intelligent mobile systems are described. A control hierarchy allows vehicles to autonomously navigate and perform simple tasks in known environments, and knowledge-based expert systems are evaluated to assist in navigation functions, to analyze sensory information, and to simplify operator control. Development work using two research vehicles is underway to demonstrate semi-autonomous operations in process areas. A description of the mechanical equipment, control systems, and operating modes of these vehicles is presented.
