The Voronezh company "INTEHROS" has developed the robotic complex ROIN R700M, capable of operating in areas with lethal levels of radiation — over 60 Gray per hour, which is thousands of times higher than the dose permissible for humans. ROIN R700M was tested at the Novovoronezh NPP.
The machine remotely transfers dangerous debris, clears rubble and cleans up areas after accidents at nuclear power plants or nuclear facilities. It can be controlled from a distance of 5 km, and eight cameras provide the operator with a 360-degree view even in complete darkness.
The key feature of the robot is protection against radiation. All electronics are hidden behind special composite panels and lead screens that absorb radiation. Sensors monitor the radiation level, and if it becomes critical, the machine automatically retreats to a safe distance.
For operation in areas with strong interference, the robot uses a 2.5 km long fiber optic cable, which winds itself up when moving. This guarantees a stable connection even where radio control is useless.
The telescopic boom extends to 8.5 m and lifts 1.5 tons of cargo — for example, containers with radioactive waste or fragments of destroyed reactors.
