In hazardous environments, where conditions present risks for humans, the maintenance and interventions are often done with teleoperated remote systems or mobile robotic manipulators to avoid human exposure dangers. The increasing need safe efficient teleoperation requires advanced environmental awareness collision avoidance. up-to-date screen-based 2D 3D interfaces do not fully allow operator immerse in controlled scenario. This problem can be addressed emerging Mixed Reality (MR)...
AWAKE is a proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. % We show that the experimental setup briefly described here ready for systematic study of seeded self-modulation 400\,GeV proton bunch in 10\,m-long rubidium with density adjustable from 1 to 10$\times10^{14}$\,cm$^{-3}$. short laser pulse used ionization vapor propagates all way along column, suggesting full vapor. occurs bunch, at time and follows affects bunch.
Robotic interventions with redundant mobile manipulators pose a challenge for telerobotics in hazardous environments, such as underwater, underground, nuclear facilities, particle accelerators, aerial or space. Communication issues can lead to critical consequences, imprecise manipulation resulting collisions, breakdowns and mission failures. The research presented this paper was driven by the needs of real robotic intervention scenario Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at European Organization...
Remote robotic interventions and maintenance tasks are frequently required in hazardous environments. Particularly, missions with a redundant mobile manipulator the world's most complex machine, CERN Large Hadron Collider, performed sensitive underground environment radioactive or electromagnetic hazards, bringing further challenges safety reliability. The mission's success depends on robot's hardware software, when become too unpredictable to execute autonomously, operators need make...
The new generation internal beam dump of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN will have to dissipate approximately 270 kW thermal power, deposited by primary proton beam. For this purpose, it is essential that cooling system features a very efficient heat evacuation. Diffusion bonding assisted hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was identified as promising method joining circuits and materials dumps core in order maximize transfer efficiency. This paper presents investigation HIP diffusion...
The employment of a suitable radioactive decay spectroscopy setup is essential for the operation ion beam (RIB) facilities. CERN-ISOLDE recently developed new fast tape station (FTS) to replace its more than 40 years old predecessor. FTS equipped with several β-detectors, HPGe-detector, provisions an α-detector, and constitutes significant improvement in terms transport times detector noise characteristics. Since 2021 it routinely used as primary asset yield determination quality control...
3D Mixed Reality (MR) Human-Robot Interfaces (HRI) show promise for robotic operators to complete tasks more quickly, safely and with less training.The objective of this study is assess the use MR HRI environment in comparison a standard 2D Graphical User Interface (GUI) order control redundant mobile manipulator.The experimental data was taken during operation 9 DOF manipulator mounted robotized train, CERN Train Inspection Monorail (TIM), used Beam Loss Monitor measurement task complex...
