Abstract

The need to perform operations from above has become one of the primary challenges that robotics must address in recent times. At CERN, high-intensity hadron colliders and fixed target experiments increasingly require robotic telemanipulation to prevent human personnel from being exposed to radioactive environments. In this article, we propose a modular robotic system called CRANEBot, which is transported by cranes. This system enables operations from above, allowing for extended sessions of inspection, manipulation, and remote handling at variable heights with minimal impact on the external environment. The system operates using a robotic framework that enables communication with its hardware components and is controlled by a teleoperator through a graphical interface. The proposed functionalities have been tested and validated in multiple robotic interventions.
