INVESTIGATORS THINK SHE WORKED
FOR THE POST OFFICE AT THE
TIME.
IF CONVICTED SHE COULD SPEND UP
TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON AND PAY A
$250,000 FINE.
IT HAS BEEN 40 YEARS SINCE
THE MILL DYING -- NUCLEAR
DISASTER THAT ENDANGERED THE
LIVES OF MANY.
IT CONTINUE THE DEBATE OVER THE
SAFETY OF NUCLEAR POWER.
A SCIENCES DEVELOP ROBOTS TO
CLEAN UP THE DAMAGE POINT.
THAT HELPED ROBOT TECHNOLOGY
HERE AND AROUND THE WORLD.
WHEN DISASTER STRUCK NO
HUMAN COULD SEE OR VENTURE
INSIDE THE THREE MILE ISLAND
NUCLEAR POWER WHERE A MELTDOWN
AND THE REACTOR CORE CAUSED
RADIOACTIVE WATER TO GO EIGHT
FEET HIGH IN THE BASEMENT.
THAT WAS NOT CLEARLY
UNDERSTOOD.
IT WAS NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD
UNTIL THE MACHINE COULD GET IN
THERE.
IT WOULD BE A TO THE
UNIVERSITY TO DEVELOP THIS
FIRST OF A KIND ROBOT TO ENTER
THE RADIO ACT OF PLANT AND GIVE
OFFICIALS THE FIRST EYE VIEW OF
THE DAMAGE INSIDE.
NAMELY THIS BASEMENT FILLED
WITH SLUDGE AND WATER.
HE BEGAN A FOUR-YEAR PROCESS OF
CLEANING IT UP.
AND IT REMOVED THE SLUDGE.
IT PERFORMED THE CLEANING OF
THE CONTAMINATION.
NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE THE
FIRST ROBOTIC ASSISTED CLEANUP
IT SHOW THE APPLICATION OF
ROBOTS IN CRISIS.
THIS WAS A WAY TO SHOW THE
WORLD THAT ROBOTS COULD GO
WHERE HUMANS COULD NOT AND DO
SERIOUS WORK AND PRECLUDE HUMANS
FROM DANGER.
IRONICALLY THE DANGER WHICH
SAVED MANY GAVE BIRTH TO A NEW
INDUSTRY.
THEY WERE DEVELOPING THE
PROTOTYPES OF THE SELF DRIVING
VEHICLES AND NOW HE IS THE
FATHER OF FIELD ROBOTICS.
TAKING ROBOTS INTO THE REAL
WORLD PERFORMING REAL-WORLD
TASKS.
THIS IS THE IMMENSE.
TODAY THE ENGINEERING CENTER
AND LAWRENCEVILLE HAVE HELPED
TO SPOT MANY ROBOTIC VENTURES
TO ASSIST HUMAN BEINGS IN EVERY
DAY TASKS AND GIVING THEM WHERE
THEY NEED TO GO.
MOST NOTABLY IN THE AUTONOMOUS
DRIVING VEHICLES BEING
DEVELOPED BY RIGHT SURE
COMPANIES ARE
SO THE DISASTER THAT WAS
THREE MILE ISLAND'S ON THE
APPLICATION OF ROBOTICS AND
INDUSTRY THAT IS TRANSFORMING
PITTSBURGH AND TRANSFORMING THE
