Abstract

Humanoid robots are expectable in a nuclear facility for their manipulation and operation in a nuclear power
plant. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a haptic sensor can be adapted to radiation environment. Recently, we have
been developed haptic sensor utilizing functional fluids involving MCF (Magnetic Compound Fluid) for artificial skin.
Magnetic Compound Fluid (MCF) rubber is a new smart sensor obtained by mixing rubber with MCF. In this study, we
clarify the adapatability of tactile function of MCF rubber for investigation of nuclear facilities.
