Remote handling plays an essential role to enable manipulation of dangerous objects in nuclear environment e.g. in hot cells or glove boxes.
CORTEX (Component Oriented Real-Time Execution engine) is the key software framework for a seamless integration of all the functions you need for efficient telemanipulation.
CORTEX will allow you to implement hard real-time controllers for the whole mission:
- interaction with digital twins for mission preparation;
- operator assistance functions for fast and precise task completion.
CORTEX allows you to choose between a wide range of slave and master arms to address a wide range of situations. Interaction with digital twins and easy scripting makes the mission preparation easy and efficient.
Various functions make operators tasks easier: intuitive human-machine interface, precise force feedback will give them full control on the mission. High level functions like 3D supervised control for anticollision or virtual guides will reduce the number of degrees of freedom they will have to control in real-time, thus reducing their mental load and allowing them to work faster and in a more secure way.
The component structure of CORTEX framework enables easy team work, genericity and modularity during the controller development phases. It also makes the controller maintenance easier.
CORTEX framework benefit from CEA 10+ years of experience in hot cells robotics and software developments.
