This research aims at developing a novel manipulator for retrieving fuel debris on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F) as shown in Figure 1. We conduct research on designing shock-resistant CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) robot in collaboration with the University of Sussex. Our main focus is on navigation and control.
