In 1986 Chernobyl, an RBMK reactor used in the Ukraine, exploded. This released massive amounts of gamma radiation which, due to the exposure, killed thousands of people while they attempted to clean up the radiation.
My invention is a code that uses cameras to trace the movements of each joint of your hand. It then transfers all of this data to an arduino that will move a robotic hand in sync with yours using a push pull mechanism. This device moves beyond the struggles of getting used to abstract controllers and joysticks when controlling machinery as it will mimic a person’s precise hand movements.
My robot will change the world of nuclear radiation cleanup as its future paves ways for a robot that is able to mimic an entire body and not just a hand. This futuristic robot will possess the ability to clean up disastrous situations without the extreme exposure and risk that nuclear fallout, such as Chernobyl, presented to human bodies.
With the proliferation of fission reactors and the speculation of fusion reactors, people have to start developing methods to safely and effectively mitigate the catastrophic consequences of radioactive malfunctions and waste management. My robot confronts the downsides of the potential for unlimited energy and secures a place in the energy technology industry of the future.
On top of this, my design can and will be used for more than just nuclear waste management, but also other harsh environments that aren’t suitable for human interaction. This includes varieties of conditions such as bomb diffusion, extreme temperatures, space exploration, deep underwater tasks, noxious gases and more.
