Nuclear Response
Robot Market: Overview
Though robots have
been developed since many decades, they are still not able to
reasonably supplement humans in several tasks, such as assisting them
in nuclear plants. This is no longer the case now, because now robots
have been developed which have sufficient mobility, sensors, size and
tooling to be effective in emergency situations. People in nuclear
industry have now started to recognize the benefits of automated
technologies and have started investing in such technologies.

Nuclear response
robots are specially designed automated machines which are programmed
to assist humans in safe functioning of nuclear power plants. Nuclear
plants have several hazardous operations such as handling of
radioactive material, disposing the used material and leakage
detection in emergency situations. The robots are specifically
designed to assist workers in such situations. Thus to manage
radioactive materials, nuclear responsive robots are now being
adopted in few countries. Nuclear response robot market is
anticipated to grow at a steady pace by 2020.
The post Fukushima
nuclear power plant incident in Japan has raised concerns about the
safety of plants in cases of such disasters. Thus for safe handling
of nuclear plants, technological development will consistently be an
important issue. Nuclear response robot technology will be driven by
the fact that, more nuclear plants are to be deployed in future and
safety would be the prime priority in such installations. Recently
Chiba Future Robotics developed a robot, which can roll on dangerous
radioactively contaminated grounds where firemen cannot easily enter.
Nuclear Response
Robot Market: Drivers and Restraints
Research and
Development in the field of nuclear response robots is likely to
increase owing to specific requirements of nuclear plants in coming
future. There are some issues that need to be resolved for wide
adoption of technology. Primarily the material availability may act
as a restraint for technological development. The material must be of
high quality that does not alter with the reach of gamma rays in
order to bear the radiation exposure. Another major issue for the
nuclear response robots market is the unreliable wireless
communication in case of emergency situations.
Nuclear Response
Robot Market: Segmentation
The nuclear response
robots can be segmented based on their applications. These robots are
equipped with different sensors and come in different sizes based on
their application. A majority of these robots are tele-operated.
These robots can assist humans in, operation & maintenance of
industrial nuclear facilities and maintenance in nuclear reactors.
They are of special use in areas where safety concerns related to
humans are high, such as decommissioning & dismantling nuclear
facilities and emergency intervention situations.

The global demand
for nuclear response robots was very low until the recent accident in
Fukushima power plant took place. At present no nuclear plant is in
as insecure a state as Fukushima, but adoption of robots in nuclear
plants around the world would reduce risks for plant workers. Now
many nations which are investing in nuclear power plants have also
started to invest in this technology. Especially countries like
China, Japan, France and Russia are potential markets for nuclear
response robots. The regional segmentation will be done as North
America, Asia Pacific, Europe and Rest of the world (Row).
