Background:

Tele-manipulation is crucial in the nuclear industry to mitigate radiation hazards for operators.
Bilateral teleoperation systems, using a 4-channel architecture, are common but their performance limitations for nuclear decommissioning are not well-defined.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the task performance of bilateral tele-manipulation for radiation surveying within gloveboxes.
To compare tele-manipulation performance against manual operation by a human glovebox operator.

Main Methods:

An experimental setup was designed to facilitate both manual and tele-manipulated radiation surveying tasks.
Performance metrics were collected and analyzed for both operational modes.

Main Results:

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) teleoperated robotic systems are flexible but demonstrate significantly lower task performance compared to manual operation.
The current teleoperation solutions present potential hazards to equipment within the glovebox environment.

Conclusions:

Existing teleoperation systems are insufficient for effective and safe radiation surveying in nuclear gloveboxes.
Future work should focus on developing improved teleoperation solutions informed by observed limitations and expert insights.
