Abstract

A prototype of the Bridge Transported Servo Manipulator (BTSM) system has been developed to do operation and maintenance jobs remotely in a hot cell. The system consists of a telescopic transporter, a slave arm, a master arm, and a control system. In this paper, the system is introduced and several performance test results are presented. The results have been used to design an upgraded system that will be used during demonstrations of the advanced spent fuel conditioning process.
