Abstract

Nuclear power plant inspection robots play a crucial role in ensuring the safe operation of nuclear facilities, with radiation protection and autonomous navigation technology being key components. Radiation protection involves addressing challenges in material shielding and structural design to minimize the impact of radiation on the robot and extend its lifespan. Autonomous navigation must tackle the complexities of the environment to achieve precise positioning and path planning. By researching high-performance shielding materials, optimizing the robot's structural design, and integrating multi-sensor fusion with advanced algorithms, the capabilities of radiation protection and autonomous navigation can be enhanced. The study analyzes the attenuation effects of shielding materials on different types of radiation, constructs an autonomous navigation model for complex environments, and provides theoretical and practical support for the development of nuclear power plant inspection robot technology, contributing to the intelligent operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants.
