Robots for nuclear power workers

Tokyo-based Cyberdyne Technologies (Japan) on Nov. 7 has released a robot skeleton to support the travel of workers at nuclear power plants.

By design, strong bones by this machine will help workers move easily with radiation shielded lead armor in the plant's toxic environment. This device is called 'Hybrid Assistive Limb' (HAL).

Cyberdyne has released the latest version of this advanced device that can be worn with up to 60kg of lead-free work wear that workers have often used in the factory, especially during times of trouble. Radiation leakage incident at Fukushima nuclear power plant.

A representative from Cyberdyne said, "This HAL helps reduce the weight of the lead jacket and helps the worker to work without any discomfort."

The company expects the new device to reduce the risk to workers in harsh working conditions at the plant as well as assist people in corrective actions in the affected area. Immediately after the disaster.

The March earthquake and tsunami disaster led to the worst nuclear accident at the Fukushima 1 plant and severely damaged the recovery of northeastern Japan after the disaster.

The Fukushima factory's lead armor has always been a headache for professionals because of the obstacles it poses to workers, especially the weight of the workforce, which is rapidly depleting and dehydrating. Can work long hours in a hazardous environment.

The introduction of the HAL device could be an important innovation to help speed up disaster recovery.
