The system consists of a 4-degree-of-freedom robot designed and built at NCSU mounted on the end of a truck mounted peeper crane. Additionally, a containment system is mounted in front of the robot to contain the toxic waste created by the removal of the lead-based paint from the bridge beams and trusses.
