An amazing radiation-resistant
robot aimed at cleaning up the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant has
unveiled by Japanese company Mitsubishi. In the same time other firms, among
them Hitachi and Toshiba, have also rolled out their own remote-controlled bots
recently. Now there is a race between the robots to fix damaged Fukushima nuclear plant.
In the 2011, the plant was
damaged by the effect of earthquake and tsunami. Robots are previously
functioning inside the plant; however
none has been particularly designed for this kind of work. Toshiba says its
robot has a wireless network that can be controlled in high radiation, looking
for a high-quality signal when reception is weak. According to Jeremy Pitt,
deputy head of the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group at Imperial College
London, it was still a challenge for a remotely controlled machine to effectively
replace humans in such harsh circumstances.
