One method for enabling minimal human exposure to hazards under these conditions is through the use of gloveboxes that are sealed volumes with controlled access for performing handling. While gloveboxes allow operators to perform complex handling tasks, they put operators at considerable risk from breaking the confinement and, historically, serious examples including punctured gloves leading to lifetime doses have occurred. To date, robotic systems have had relatively little impact on the industry, even though it is clear that they offer major opportunities for improving productivity and significantly reducing risks to human health. This work presents the challenges of robotic and AI solutions for nuclear gloveboxes, and introduces a step forward for bringing cutting-edge technology to gloveboxes. The problem statement and challenges are highlighted and then an integrated demonstrator is proposed for robotic handling in nuclear gloveboxes for nuclear material handling. The proposed approach spans from tele-manipulation to shared autonomy, computer vision solutions for robotic manipulation to machine learning solutions for condition monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/robotics10030085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,4]],"date-time":"2021-07-04T22:35:22Z","timestamp":1625438122000},"page":"85","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Robot-Assisted Glovebox Teleoperation for Nuclear Industry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4920-1634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ozan","family":"Tokatli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3300-2005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pragna","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1593-1567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radhika","family":"Nath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8196-3842","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luigi","family":"Pangione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1022-8733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Altobelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8431-4637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guy","family":"Burroughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2009-3596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emil T.","family":"Jonasson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6209-6851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew F.","family":"Turner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1076-906X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Skilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Abingdon, Oxforshire OX14 3DB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1108\/01439911111106327","article-title":"Robots in the nuclear industry: A review of technologies and applications","volume":"38","author":"Bogue","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ind.
