American Nuclear Society (ANS) Student Robotic Competition
10th
International Conference on Robotics
& Remote Systems for Hazardous Environments
University of Florida Hotel & Conference
Center, Gainesville, FL March 28 - April 1, 2004
The scenario for the competition is as follows: An accident has occurred in a spent nuclear fuel processing facility. During the hasty evacuation, three vessels containing spent nuclear fuel were left in a small remote room. The doorway into the room has been blocked, but an air duct allows access into and out of the room. The room contains furniture and some debris. Your mission is to enter the room, recover and enclose the three vessels, and remove them from the area (to be disposed of properly without human exposure to the environment). The robotic designs can be autonomous or teleoperated (additional points will be assigned to autonomous robots). A wireless camera and monitor will be made available to teams. The camera is small and can be attached to the robots by using velcro.
