Abstract.
The results of developing a radiation-hardened robotic complex to work in hot cells at nuclear industry facilities are presented. For each constituting element of the complex – arobotic manipulator, a control device with force feedback, control software – a detailed description is given.Special attention is paid to the mathematical basis of the manual control mode implemented by means of an original 6-DoF joystick.Further development of the control software made it possible to create a training simulator, the software part of which is identical to that used for the robotic arm control. The simulator hardware consists of VR equipment and the 6-DoF joystick.
Keywords: robotic complex, manipulator, control device, force feedback, joystick, control algorithms, mathematical basis, radiation-protected chamber, hot cell, training simulator, virtual reality, VR, control software.
