A robotic arm control system including a robotic arm configured to deploy one or more tools in an operating space, one or more sensors, and a control system operably configured to: scan the operating space with the one or more sensors, identify a surface of the operating space based at least in part upon information sensed by the one or more sensors, establish a virtual barrier offset from the surface, and limit movement of the robotic arm based at least in part upon the virtual barrier.

System and method for a robotic manipulator system

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a robotic manipulator arm deployment and control system. The system comprises at least a vertical mast, a mast deployment system comprising at least two cams, an elbow, an arm wherein the arm is operable to deploy tools, and one or more sensors including a non-contact sensor and a dynamic measurement unit. The cams cause the vertical mast and the arm to remain vertical during deployment into an operating space. The non-contact sensor may be used for measuring range and bearing to objects in the operating space in polar coordinates. The dynamic measurement unit comprises accelerometers and rate sensors and is configured as a six degree of freedom three axis sensor operating in a Cartesian coordinate system. The system further comprises a controller operable to receive the polar and Cartesian coordinates from the sensors and convert them to a Cartesian coordinate system.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, processes, and apparatuses for treating radioactive waste, through systems designed to bind and dry radioactive media and to mechanical devices and techniques that are utilized for removal of granular media from confined spaces (vessels and tanks). In some of its various embodiments, the system processes spent ion exchange media for long-term storage.
