    How soon can those help cleanup Fukushima and Tchernobyl?

    I assume the high price and limitations would make them a hard sell for a typical factory. But those could be handy in places where humans can’t go safely.

      Underwater welding, too. The compensation is insanely high because it is unbelievably dangerous, especially with large pressure differences (eg, working on undersea sewer outflows that can suck you in while welding them shut.)

      Here’s an interesting video on Delta P, and why it’s so dangerous.
