This is an overview of the current use of robotics in industry, position of nuclear industry in development of robotics, guidelines for development of robotics strategy as well as lists case studies. There is a potential to use more robotics in the nuclear industry, both within versatile multi-purpose robots and specialized robots carrying out specific tasks. To increase the use of robotics in the Nordic nuclear industry it is suggested to develop a joint strategy on use of robotics.
