Nuclear facilities required for research were constructed quickly to keep up with the arms race. Due to the speed and limited knowledge of the dangers of exposure to nuclear material, fewer precautions and exact records were taken at the time. Once these nuclear facilities had been fully utilised they were retired and sealed off. 70 years after the race began there is a need to decommission the facilities as the structures are starting to age and if they are left it could lead to further contamination of the surrounding environment.

To achieve full potential of collaborative robots, human operators need confidence in robotic co-worker technologies and their capacities. We compare the impact of dynamic signage with static signage on the human-robot collaboration task performance. The results provide evidence that dynamic signage participants had higher accuracy rates compared to static signage ones. Furthermore, dynamic signage resulted in a significant decrease of NARS scores and static signage in a decrease of RAS scores after the interaction with the robot.
