This paper introduces a dual-arm telerobotic platform designed to efficiently and safely execute hot cell operations for nuclear waste disposition at EM sites. The proposed system consists of a remote robot arm platform and a teleoperator station, both integrated with a software architecture to control the entire system. The dual-arm configuration of the remote platform enhances versatility and task performance in complex and hazardous environments, ensuring precise manipulation and effective handling of nuclear waste materials. The integration of a teleoperator station enables human teleoperator to remotely control the entire system real-time, enhancing decision-making capabilities, situational awareness, and dexterity. The control software plays a crucial role in our system, providing a robust and intuitive interface for the teleoperator. Test operation results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in operating as a remote hotbox for nuclear waste disposition, showcasing its potential applicability in real EM sites.

Join gaming executives to discuss emerging parts of the industry this October at GamesBeat Summit Next. The world of technology is rapidly shifting from flat media viewed in the third person to immersive media experienced in the first person. Recently dubbed "the metaverse," this major transition in mainstream computing has ignited a new wave of excitement over the core technologies of virtual and augmented reality. But there is a third technology area known as telepresence that is often overlooked but will become an important part of the metaverse. While virtual reality brings users into simulated worlds, telepresence (also called telerobotics) uses remote robots to bring users to distant places, giving them the ability to look around and perform complex tasks.

As if quantum computing wasn't mind-bending enough, one of D-Wave Systems' founders is now pursuing another futuristic idea: using artificial intelligence and high-tech exoskeleton suits to allow humans--and, at least according to one description of the technology, monkeys--to control and train an army of intelligent robots. Geordie Rose is a cofounder and chief technology officer of D-Wave, the Canadian company selling machines that it claims exploit quantum mechanical effects to solve certain problems hundreds of millions times faster than traditional computers. Now an IEEE Spectrum investigation has discovered that Rose is also CEO of Kindred Systems (aka Kindred AI), a stealthy startup he founded with others in 2014 dedicated to delivering advanced teleoperated and autonomous robots. The goal is making programming robots faster and less costly–and possibly revolutionize the world of work. Kindred has so far received well over US $10 million in funding, according to Data Collective, the venture capital firm that led one of the rounds.
