A fully autonomous robot has been deployed to inspect the interior of a fusion energy facility, marking a world-first achievement in robotics and energy research.

Students in West Cumbria have been tasked by the Robotics and AI Collaboration (RAICo) and the Industrial Solutions Hub (iSH) to design and build robots which will be showcased at a major robotics and artificial intelligence (RAI) industry event.

Women and those early in their academia career who are passionate about robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are encouraged to apply for a RAICo Fellowship.

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has recently enhanced its Remote Handling Control Room, significantly advancing its capability to undertake fusion repurposing and decommissioning projects to the highest standards.

Five groups have been awarded a total of six contracts valued at £7.4 million by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) for the development of lithium technology in fusion energy.

Nine organisations have secured contracts worth £11.6 million in total with United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to develop innovative technologies for fusion energy, which promises to be a safe, low carbon, and sustainable part of the world’s future energy supply.

A joint study by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), CERN, EUROfusion, CEA-IRFM, Aix-Marseille University (AMU), CNRS, and University of Rennes, at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, Oxfordshire, will investigate the impact of neutrons on the performance of electronics exposed to fusion energy conditions.

Control software used in fusion energy research has the potential to help grid operators cope with increased supply and demand, concluded a study by United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and Oxfordshire tech startup, Sygensys.

Scientists from EUROfusion and UKAEA have found a way to boost the performance of fusion inside tokamak machines.

Tokamak Energy’s compact spherical ST80-HTS will demonstrate multiple technologies required for the delivery of clean, sustainable fusion energy. This includes a complete set of cutting-edge high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets to confine and control the hydrogen fuel, which becomes plasma many times hotter than the sun.

Advanced robotics and remote handling technologies from fusion successfully trialled for complex operations in the space industry.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has completed a £10m extension of its Materials Research Facility (MRF) at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire.

UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) have announced a new trans-Atlantic agreement to advance commercial fusion energy.

A laser-welding ‘robotic snake’ developed by the UK Atomic Energy Authority has demonstrated its capability to operate inside of fusion energy powerplant pipework and is now patented technology.
