Abstract
This paper describes a measuring unit for synchronously collecting the air dose rate and measurement position for efficient dosimetry surveying and data logging. The developed prototype comprises a three-dimensional light detection and ranging-based mapping part and dosimetry part, which are integrated into a single measuring unit through an embedded computer that installs a ROS (robot operating system) framework. The unit can function as a standalone system with embedded batteries. Since it is portable, on-line data gathering in the workspace can be realized, thereby maintaining consistency between the air dose rate and measurement position. In this paper, we describe the functional requirements for the measuring unit, the prototype system configuration, and the experimental results obtained in the mockup environment and nuclear facility to discuss its performance.
