SMURFS could help make nuclear decommissioning work safer
Published: 8 January 2024
Nuclear power stations could be decommissioned in the future with the help of teams of autonomous robots known as the SMuRFs, scientists have suggested. Engineers from University of Glasgow, University of Manchester, Bristol Robotics Laboratory and Heriot-Watt University are behind the development of the SMuRF system, which is short for Symbiotic Multi-Robot Fleet.
