Research & Development
Operating under the concept "From Decommissioning to Space," we engage in diverse collaborative research projects with universities, research institutes, and venture companies.
PROJECT 01
Remote-Controlled Robot Arm: Next-Generation Glove Box
This project aims to reduce radiation exposure and contamination risks during operations. By combining shielding and isolation technologies developed through glove box manufacturing with robotic arms, we achieve both safety and work efficiency. We collaborate in a consortium with national universities and venture companies to tackle these challenges.
CONTENTS
Project Details
Radiation-resistant robotic arms and fingertip end effectors are integrated into the glove boxes. Robots perform tasks in place of human hands, while operators control them remotely from a safe distance. Tactile feedback replicates the sense of grip, enabling precise handling even in delicate analytical work.
Key Development Points
- • Three-fingered end effector with radiation resistance and tactile feedback
- • Radiation-resistant robotic arm
- • Controller specialized for analytical arm operations
PROJECT 02
Water separation process from organic solvents
Disposal of organic solvents is subject to various regulations. Yoshida is advancing demonstration tests using proven solvent concentration technology to safely and efficiently separate solvents from moisture. Collaboration with specialists drives ongoing efforts to solve customer challenges.
CONTENTS
Project Details
The process under consideration involves adding a specialized solvent to water to selectively extract only the moisture, followed by safe treatment and reuse. This approach aims to reduce processing costs while minimizing environmental impact.
