CERN unleashes powerful robot-dog to inspect nuclear radiation zones
Witness the dawn of a new era in robotic exploration with CERN's CERNquadbot, enhancing agility and versatility in challenging terrains.
In a significant stride towards enhancing exploration within CERN's intricate facilities, a cutting-edge robotic solution known as the CERNquadbot has recently completed its maiden radiation protection test within the Laboratory's expansive North Area. Unlike its predecessors, which were predominantly wheeled or tracked, the CERNquadbot boasts four legs, offering unparalleled stability and maneuverability in cluttered and uneven terrains. Chris McGreavy, a robotics engineer at CERN's Controls, Electronics and Mechatronics ( CEM) group, highlights the significance of this advancement, stating, "There are large bundles of loose wires and pipes on the ground that slip and move, making them unpassable for wheeled robots and difficult even for humans."
