British robots are being sent into the Fukushima nuclear plant which was damaged in Japan's earthquake and tsunami, because it's too dangerous for humans. This is the Talon robot, whose job it is to move through rubble inside the plant and send back radiation readings. The people controlling the robots can see what's going on through cameras. They can also watch in infared if it's too dark inside. These diggers have been changed so they can be operated by remote control. They can dig, lift, cut and break through walls and doors. If this robot's controller looks familiar it's because it's from an XBox 360!! Thie is called the iRobot Packbot which have already been inside the nuclear plant. It can take radiation samples to find out how dangerous things are. Packbots can adjust equipment inside the plant. They've also been used in war zones to defuse bombs. Back 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next
