Manipulators for Nuclear and Other Hazardous Environments 630337
Many remotely controlled manipulative devices have been designed and operated successfully for extended periods in nuclear, industrial, underwater, underseas, high temperature, inert gas, hard vacuum, space, explosive, corrosive, toxic, and other hazardous environments. This paper describes the environmental protection for typical manipulative devices and discusses design parameters, methods of operation, design features, materials of construction, and, where possible, operating experience to date.
