Abstract: Nuclear energy is an environmentally friendly and powerful new clean energy source, and its related technologies and applications are rapidly developing around the world. However, nuclear safety is a very important issue in the process of safe use of nuclear energy. As an important tool in nuclear emergency response and rescue, radiation emergency robots play a very important role in helping rescuers to understand the accident site in advance and make scientific decisions. In this paper, the latest technologies and achievements in radiation accident emergency robots in recent years were described, including new shielding materials, radiation protection of camera elements, robotic communication, new nuclear emergency robots, parameter optimization of robotic arms, nuclear fuel assembly breakage and leakage monitoring robots, and quick-change devices for nuclear emergency handling robots.
