In the nuclear industry, decommissioning activities inside gloveboxes are currently carried out manually by operators putting their hands inside the glovebox. This carries a risk of containment breach (most commonly glove failure) which may harm the operator.
Atkins Ltd are currently developing a robot system that is capable of performing glovebox operations using a Kinova Gen3 robot arm instead of a human arm.
Demonstration Kit for the Nuclear Industry
Atkins approached Design by Datum to aid in the design and manufacture of a table top demonstration box to display the capability of the Kinova Gen 3 arm in a glove box environment.
