Japan a robot power everywhere except at nuclear plant



TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan may build robots to play the violin, run marathons and preside over weddings, but it has not deployed any of the machines to help repair its crippled reactors.
While robots are commonplace in the nuclear power industry, with EU engineers building one that can climb walls through radioactive fields, the electric power company running Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi plant has not deployed any for the nuclear emergency.

Instead, its skeleton team has been given the unenviable and perhaps deadly task of cooling reactors and spent nuclear fuel on their own, only taking breaks to avoid over-exposure.

A science ministry official said a robot used to detect radiation levels is at the site of the accident in Fukushima, north of Tokyo, but nuclear safety agency official Hidehiko Nishiyama said: "We have no reports of any robots being used."

That robot would have come in handy early on Thursday when workers monitoring radiation had to back away from the plant because it was becoming too hot.

While Japan is renowned for its cutting edge technology, it also maintains an anachronistic element in its society that relies on humans for tasks that have given way to automation in many other parts of the world, such as operating elevators and warning motorists of road construction.

In one of Japan's worst nuclear accidents, two workers were killed in September 1999, when workers at a nuclear facility in Tokaimura, northeast of Tokyo, set off an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction by using buckets to mix nuclear fuel in a lab.

Japan is a world leader in robots, using them to automate the most complicated manufacturing processes and to sift through rubble to look for victims in earthquakes.

Robots were also used after two infamous nuclear disasters -- Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and will almost certainly be used at Fukushima for work in highly radioactive areas.

Kim Seungho, a nuclear official who engineered robots for South Korea's atomic power plants, said: "You have to design emergency robots for plants when they are being built so they can navigate corridors, steps and close valves."

The Fukushima plant was built in the 1970s, well before robots were able to work on sophisticated tasks.

Robots are in place in many nuclear plants for structured situations such as monitoring pipes and simple maintenance.

Kim, a deputy director in nuclear technology for the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, said budget constraints and denial have kept emergency robots out of many plants in his country and around the world.

"Nuclear plant operators don't liked to think about serious situations that are beyond human control," he said by telephone.

日本的机器人无所不在,除了核电站

东京(路透社)--日本造了很多机器人,有能拉小提琴的,有能跑马拉松的,还有能主持婚礼的,但唯独没有能派去维修事故反应堆的。

当机器人在核电站已经司空见惯,欧盟的工程师已经造出能爬墙能通过放射性区域的机器人时候,运行福岛第一核电站的电力公司却没有部署任何应急机器人。不仅如此,他的骨干队伍出了令人鄙视和杀爹的幺蛾子,冷却反应堆,听任核燃料扩散,只是去防止过度辐射。

一个官方科学部门说,福岛核电站已经有一个机器人去探测事故现场的放射性级别,但是官方核能安全部门的Hidehiko Nishiyama 说,我们没有任何在用机器人的报告。
机器人在星期四应该会派上用场,因为在用的放射性监测仪已经因为过热的问题从核电站里撤回来了。

当日本以他的尖端技术享誉世界的时候,社会上还有一些靠人力工作的落伍的元素,比如开电梯的,公路建设中的提醒工作,这些在世界的其他地方早就自动化了。

1999年,在日本最严重的核事故中,两个工作人员在东京东北部的东海村核设施工作中丧生,就是因为在实验室中用桶混合核燃料,引爆了一个无法控制的核链式反应。

日本的机器人技术在世界上最强,可以使复杂的制造过程自动化,能在地震中通过乱石堆寻找受害者。

在韩国核电站设计机器人的Kim Seungho说,作为一名核工作人员,你必须为核电站设计出应急机器人,他们能通过走廊和台阶,还能关上阀门。

福岛核电站设计于70年代,当时机器人还不能完成复杂的工作。

机器人用于很多核电站的结构检测,比如管道检测和简单的维修。

韩国原子能研究所的核技术副主任Kim说,在韩国和世界其他很多地方的核电站因为预算的限制和缺失,应急机器人并没有上马。

他在电话里说,核电站的管理者不喜欢考虑工作人员不能控制的严重事态。(p.s.当然机器人也就没用)

日本的机器人高智能啊,都知道怕核辐射了,不该去……跟人的智商有一拼
2L油菜,开来日本的AI技术真不是盖的,比真人还聪明
http://au.news.yahoo.com/tech-news/a/-/technology/9031498/japan-a-robot-power-everywhere-except-at-nuclear-plant/
這個——目前只考慮商業化應用的後果吧——技術實力什麼的應該問題不大……
有个疑问,普通辐射对机器人是没什么问题的,苏联那个是因为中子辐射导致机器人无法使用,那么这次日本的核电站不是没有链式反应吗,自然也,没有中子了,为毛机器人不能用呢?
民主的机器人是有人权的 哪像专制的机器人只是工具而已

    原来如此

机器人不要花钱的吗,没人出钱谁给你用
提问。。。机器人不用电么???他们没电阿。。。
难怪这么淡定,全日本都想着他们的机器人还没上呢,机器人上场一切都是浮云
上次讨论机器人,有个兄弟说,要是机器人技术一有突破,日本人肯定首先运用到充气娃娃身上。
