Abstract

A reactor robot for object salvaging underwater was designed to reduce the labor intensity of operators under the nuclear radiation environment. The control system of the robot, composed of control system hardware and control system software, was designed to be compact and radiation resistant. The control algorithm of the robot based on current, velocity, and position feedback of each motor makes the robot achieve the goal of salvaging exactly and rapidly. In order to verify the stability of the control system, the salvaging foreign matter experiment was tested in nuclear base. The result shows that the control system of the robot is stable enough.
