Manchester University experts are designing AI-powered robots to work in some of the most hazardous places on Earth and outer space.
Manchester researchers have been advising government and energy sector leaders on the safe development of AI robots being used in extreme environments.
The University of Manchester said ‘hot robotic’ systems were originally designed to work in radioactive environments in decommissioned nuclear reactors, but found a new use in the fields of nuclear fusion power, agriculture, the energy sector, and even space exploration.
