Abstract
The Office of Technology Development's (OTD) Robotics Technology Development Program (RTDP) D&D application area is currently funding research to improve upon characterization efforts using robots. During the past 2 years a large Mobile Automated Characterization Systems (MACS) has been developed to carry multiple radiation sensors and perform tedious, time consuming floor characterization automatically. Studies are currently being performed to evaluate data collected by the MACS platform versus hand collected data. During the development of MACS, the Reduced Access Characterization Subsystem (RACS) has also been developed to access a significant amount of floor space that is not accessible by a large floor characterization system.
