Abstract

The simple and low cost manipulator system for the use in small workspace of nuclear laboratories is presented. The system is designed for remote translocation of radioactive sources and other applications increasing staff safety during processing of radioisotope materials. The described cable-pulley manipulator is controlled by a very simple PC set-up.
