Description Mobile robotic equipment (Boston Dynamics SPOT) was used with the University of Bristol to conduct a world first deployment at Chernobyl, which attracted much media coverage, and has helped lead the way into taking humans out of harm's way. As a direct result there is a second deployment planned at Chernobyl in Q3 2021. We worked with Createc to deploy SPOT at Sellafield within an active area. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/robotics-in-the-spot-light

Description Automated Pick n Place within Glovbox's 
Organisation i3D Robotics
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Private 
PI Contribution RACE have provided a glovebox, complete with two manipulators to mount the I3D equipment to for testing and evaluation. RACE engineers (from RAIN) are using this full assembly and ROS open source software to develop automated grasping of objects within the glovebox.
Collaborator Contribution I3D have provided hardware to RACE (UKAEA) which includes sensors and cameras. They have also provided software for said hardware and expertise on the setup, programing and use of the equipment.
Impact This collaboration is still active, hence no formal outcomes have been achieved but work is on track to achieve the goals at outset: In collaboration I3d robotics and RACE aim to develop a Robust Grasping process. With I3d's Sensors deployed as camera in hand sensor, a method will be developed for autonomous grasping of objects in the robot's workspace. The key objective of the collaboration is to develop a robust and reliable means robotic grasping of objects within a glovebox, making use of data obtained via I3D sensor systems, and using an interface which is highly intuitive to operators.
