Snake robot used for inspection of lab at Dounreay

The project was initially funded by the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Nuclear hub.

Further support was secured from the Game Changers, external nuclear innovation programme.

Two companies, FIS360 and Ice9 Robotics, provided assistance to the university team.

It was the latest use of robots at Dounreay.

In a collaboration with the University of Manchester and Ice9, the site’s operator used a robot called Lyra to survey a duct.

It has been suggested a pack of robotic “dogs” could help inspect potentially hazardous areas.

Dounreay has been working with Cumbria-headquartered Createc on trials of a robotic quadruped called Spot.
