Remote Handling Experiments with the MASCOT IV Servomanipulator at JET and Prospects of Enhancements

Ongoning remote handling trials are being performed at JET, using the MASCOT IV servomanipulator, in order to establish the feasibility of proposed remote handling tasks. This promotes the development of appropriate tools and methods, the determination of time scales, and suggest modifications to be incorporated into the final design of the related JET components.
