Asbestos Removal Robots

Asbestos removal has become a major issue in recent years, not least because of the difficulties and dangers it poses to workers. Taisei Corporation has developed a robot capable of removing asbestos from elevator shafts. The development was undertaken on behalf of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Use of the robot improves worker safety since workers are not directly involved with asbestos.
