Survey on the use of robots / unmanned systems in scenarios involving radiological or nuclear threats - ERNCIP Thematic Group for Radiological and Nuclear Threats to Critical Infrastructure, Task 3 deliverable 3
This is the third deliverable of task three of our ERNCIP thematic group for radiological and nuclear threats to critical infrastructure. This is the only report for this year in this task about remote controlled radiation measurements and sampling using unmanned systems. We made up questions for a survey with experts from the RN and from the robotics communities that we circulated through different channels like mailing lists and professional social media groups. In this report, we present the questionnaire and then discuss the outcome of the survey that we held this year to raise public interest in this topic and to get more insights and additional views from experts in this field and related subjects. One further aim was to extract information out of the experts and to bring the different communities of roboticists and RN experts together. We succeeded in getting information from scientists especially from the robotics community, as they are well represented in the answers, but we lack of answers from industries and end-user communities. Most of the answerers agreed on the scenarios that we identified in “Possible scenarios for radiation measurements and sampling using unmanned systems” - EUR 27225. About additional sensors, most people suggested to include position and time to radiation measurements. The answers on bottlenecks and future topics points to robot’s manoeuvrability, autonomy and communication as well as decontamination and human robot interaction.
