This paper explores the problems of developing robotic systems for decommissioning legacy nuclear infrastructure, such as the many contaminated gloveboxes present in UK, USA and other countries. We begin with a discussion of these decomissioning challenges. We review the current manual methods for decommissioning alpha-contaminated plant, and review robotic approaches which might replace such direct human interventions. We then present our initial experiments with human test-subjects, exploring the ability of humans to control a remote robot to perform complex manipulation tasks. Our preliminary results reveal a number of interesting lessons: conventional tele-manipulation is very difficult and very slow without significant training; metrics for usability of such technology can be conflicting and hard to interpret; aptitude for tele-manipulation varies significantly between individuals; however such aptitude may be predicted by using spatial awareness tests to select prospective robot operators; additionally the abilities of people with different initial aptitudes appear to converge somewhat as learning progresses. An additional contribution of this paper is to show how rigorous scientific methodologies, drawn from the psychology and human-factors research fields, can be used to analyse the performance of humans using robots to perform practical tasks.
