在核电站执行维护任务的机器人必须能够处理为人类设计的工具和固定装置。多指机器人手提供了这些能力，以及处理意外情况所需的灵活性。在本文中，我们描述了用于发电厂和其他危险环境的机器人手的评估。结果表明，目前正在解决的改进领域。

ROBOTS PERFORMING MAINTENANCE TASKS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS MUST BE CAPABLE OF HANDLING TOOLS AND FIXTURES DESIGNED FOR HUMANS. MULTIFINGERED ROBOT HANDS OFFER THESE CAPABILITIES AS WELL AS THE FLEXIBILITY REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS. IN THIS PAPER, WE DESCRIBE THE EVALUATION OF A ROBOT HAND INTENDED FOR USE IN POWER PLANTS AND OTHER HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS. THE RESULTS INDICATED AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT WHICH ARE CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED.
