[ad_1] Some jobs are just too dangerous for human workers, especially when the job is also underwater. Autonomous robots are increasingly used to improve the safety of workers performing these tough and dangerous tasks. This time, scientists have presented a machine that will help clean the nuclear waste underwater. The robot called the Autonomous Aquatic

[ad_1] Credit: Sellafield We have seen what can be achieved with robotics at Sellafield. Now is the time to realise their long-term potential. Last month, over 350 attendees from across the globe joined a virtual nuclear decommissioning event and heard about the exciting world of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Sellafield and across the
[ad_1] While nuclear energy is considered generally safe, the industry is still tackling criticisms of its safety and cleanliness, and justifying why even more investments should be poured into the sector during the clean energy transition. When stating their domestic policies and plans to address emissions ahead of the 2050 Paris Agreement deadline, numerous countries

I came across it from a tweet that made it sound like a soft feature on the scientist: Despite his prominent position, Iran’s top nuclear scientist wanted to live a normal
[ad_1] The working theory that Israel had assassinated Iran’s top nuclear scientist last November using a “killer robot” has now been confirmed by American, Israeli, and Iranian officials who spoke to the New York Times. Prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated east of the capital Tehran on November 27, 2020, while driving with
[ad_1] Today’s autonomous robots serve as anything from warfighters to fruit pickers. Now, there’s a new autonomous robot in town and its aim is a very useful one: to clean underwater nuclear waste. Called the Autonomous Aquatic Inspection and Intervention (A2I2), the robot is the result of a wide-ranging UK collaboration led by Rovco that
[ad_1] A robot dog could soon be sniffing out hazards at a nuclear site in Cumbria. Spot the robot dog has been put through its paces at Sellafield as part of an active demonstration to look at using the clever canine as part of the day-to-day running of the site. The ‘dog’ went under three
