Now Robot developed in Japan is ready to send to Fukushima Nuclear Powerplant

So, at last, Robot developed in Japan is ready to sent to Fukushima nuclear power plant. This robot is originally developed as rescure robot, and had been expected to send to Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant from the beginning.
But due to the high level radio active in Fukushima plant, the IC circuit of it is anticipated to be melt down in quite few minutes.

Chiba Kogyou Univ. and Tohoku Univ. modified to enforce anti-radio active protection and made sure that it will work under 100 Sv/h environment, which is 400 times higher radio-active level that people can work.

This robot has an arm,
can climb over stairs and debris, shoot laser beam to get 3D image and measure radio active level.
