A range of software to provide a virtual 3D sandbox in which new operations can be quickly developed in the office and captured in a structured database, and later executed in the control room. The Remote Handling Operations Virtual Reality (RHOVR) is for planning, rehearsing and monitoring operations. The Operations Management System (OMS) is used for task development and operations. SPOCK (Single Point Operator Control Kit) and CPPT (Cut Path Planning Tool), which leverage the power of RHOVR and OMS for extension to specific decommissioning use cases. SPOCK combines elements of RHOVR, OMS, robot user interfaces and camera views into a single front-end interface. The goal is to reduce the cognitive load that has previously been placed on operators, who must otherwise continuously integrate information from these disparate systems in their heads, reducing operational efficiency. CPPT extends RHOVR with the capability for users to draw cut paths with a simple point-and-click interface, and simulate the resulting laser cut. The aim is to increase the efficiency of developing size reduction strategies, which can be very time-consuming, and lower the skills barrier for operators to execute those cuts with robots.
