Abstract
The results of the development of a radiation-tolerant robotic complex URS-2 for operation in hot cells at nuclear enterprises are presented. The robotic complex consists of several original components: robotic arm, control device with force feedback, control panel with hardware buttons and touch screen, control computer with system and application software, control-and-power cabinet. The robotic manipulator has 6 degrees of freedom, replaceable pneumatic grippers and is characterized by high radiation tolerance, similar to that of mechanical master-slave manipulators. The original design of the control device based on the delta-robot model that implements a copying mode of manual control of the robotic complex with force feedback is presented. The hardware and software solutions developed has made it possible to create a virtual simulator of the RTC for testing innovative methods of remote control of the robot, as well as teaching operators to perform technological tasks in hot cells. The experimental model of the robotic complex has demonstrated the ability to perform basic technological tasks in a demo hot cell, both in manual and automatic modes.

Key words
