This paper investigates the effects of gamma radiation on the operation of commercially available capacitive microelectromechanical accelerometers intended for use in robotic systems deployed for nuclear disaster remediation. Radiation-induced accelerometer degradation is examined in terms of its effects on the input–output relationship of ADXL325 accelerometers (Analog Devices, Inc., Norwood, Massachusetts,...
The effects of gamma radiation on common sensors used in robots intended for nuclear remediation scenarios are examined. Commercial rangefinders are chosen as an exemplar of the impact of gamma radiation on sensors and systems. This paper illustrates sensor radiation degradation not only in operational failure, but also in changes in the sensor transfer function. Three types of commercial range-finding...
