The History of the Development and Application of Robotics in the Elimination of Consequences at Radiation-Hazardous Facilities

The lecture is intended for training specialists in higher educational establishments according to the Federal state standard «Robotics for military and special purposes» and also for training operators of robotic complexes (facilities) for military purposes in training centers and military units. The lecture addresses two study questions: 1) Retrospective analysis of radiation accidents and their consequences. 2) Analysis of the use of robotic technology and robotics systems for elimination the consequences of radiation accidents. Conclusion: The material presented in the lecture is aimed at expanding the knowledge of those who are trained in the history of radiation accidents (disasters), as well as in the use of robotic technology and robotic systems for eliminating the consequences of such accidents. The analysis of the use of robotics in conditions of an increased radiation background, given in the lecture, will make it possible to form the necessary competencies of specialists of the NBC protection troops in order to effectively perform their tasks as intended.
