You could have the "brains" of the robot sit outside of the actual physical robot connected by very long wires.

One was pulled back after just two hours of a ten hour mission. Radiation had fried its camera. Another had to have its remote control cable snipped when it encountered something it couldn't get around.

- krasin 2y agoI found this paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168900224001530 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01689... Essentially, they use optical fiber as radiation sensors on Fukushima. So, while the concern about cloudiness is valid, the reality is that at least some types of optical fibers work okay even there.

- genman 2y agoThese robots still must have some sort of sensors that are exposed to the radiation.
