Abstract
In Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in which the accident occurred by the East Japan Earthquake in 2011, in order to avoid radioactive exposure of workers, many robots are used. However, it seems that the nuclear peculiarity and the singularity of Fukushima obstruct ordinary robot technicians' entry. In order to make these barriers low, we explain how the nuclear power plant company is designing the robot, and argue also about the difficulty of mechatronics.
