A system for locating radioactive substances using a hexapod robot equipped with a Compton camera and light detection and ranging camera was developed, and its performance evaluation test was conducted at FUGEN, a nuclear facility owned by Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In the test, by projecting images of radioactive substances acquired with the Compton camera onto a three-dimensional model of the work environment acquired with a light detection and ranging camera, the locations where radioactive substances have accumulated and the dose rate is higher than the surrounding area were successfully visualized and identified.
