Since the start of the operation of nuclear power plants, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has contributed to their stable operation through the development and operation of various different types of robots for maintenance work on the major plant equipment. In the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident, as a step toward its swift containment and safe decommissioning, we have been working hard to meet the needs of society with our robot technologies. This report introduces the progress of our robot development in the nuclear power field with some of the actual robots MHI has innovated, together with related technologies and current attempts to apply these efforts in fields other than nuclear energy, taking advantage of our strength in the robot technologies we have accumulated so far.
