This two part Panel discussed aspects of robotics, including the state-of-the-art, trends, R&D, technology maturation and transfer, and relevance to nuclear applications. Expert roboticists shared perspectives on the use of robotics for: (1) the handling of high-hazard, high-consequence materials and waste; (2) assisting workers perform tasks that are dirty, dull, dangerous, and/or difficult; (3) easing the performance of tasks that are physically demanding, stressful, or ergonomically challenging; (4) performing tasks that are beyond human abilities; (5) improving the ability to response to and recover from operational upsets, accidents, and natural disasters; and (6) improving the worker and facility safety.
