Working in partnership with Salvarem (part of the Nuvia group), OC Robotics successfully demonstrated the remote handling capability of our snake-arm robot to Areva NC in France. The snake-arm was deployed into a number of mock-ups, performing a variety of tasks applicable to the decommissioning sector.

The demonstrations suggest that a snake-arm robot would prove to be a valuable addition to a decommissioning or maintenance toolkit, enabling remote handling and inspection through existing small access holes.
