Haptically controlled robots for remote handling of nuclear waste in hot cells
This thesis focuses on the development of a remotely controlled robotic system for use in hot cells, shielded environments designed for handling radioactive materials. Due to the presence of high radiation, operations inside hot cells are performed using remote handling systems. These typically involve mechanical tele-manipulators, which work on the principle of “mirroring” the operator’s

Looking through the wall. Virtual reality for remote handing of radioactive samples in hot cells
This thesis explores an innovative solution to improve visual feedback during operations in hot cells, shielded environments used for handling radioactive materials. Due to the high levels of radiation, all operations inside these enclosures must be performed remotely, typically through mechanical manipulators based on a “mirroring” principle, where the operator’s movements outside the cell are
