Abstract
A displaceable robot for performing operations using a tool near a high temperature furnace containing molten metal, wherein the robot is displaceable using a vehicle. The robot comprising: a frame having a ground interface for coming into contact with a ground surface while defining a clearance under a portion of the frame for engaging with the vehicle to displace the robot about the furnace when the ground interface is off the ground; an arm mounted to the frame, the arm comprising an end effector which is adapted for mounting the tool; a sensor for collecting at least one of exteroceptive data in a vicinity of the robot and proprioceptive data from the robot; and a controller receiving the collected data from the sensor and controlling a movement of at least the arm based on the collected data.

Abstract
A system for feeding molten metal provided by a feeding component to a receiving component. The system comprises a launder circuit having an upstream end and a downstream end and a flow path fluidly connecting the upstream end to the downstream end, wherein the feeding component feeds the launder circuit with molten metal at the upstream end and the launder circuit feeds molten metal to the receiving component at the downstream end. The system also comprises a feed tilting mechanism located at the upstream end for tilting the feeding component between a holding angle for holding molten metal in the feeding component and a feeding angle for feeding molten metal to the launder circuit, a feeding scale for measuring weight of molten metal contained in the feeding component and generating weight signals accordingly; and a controller.
