RACE Develops PipelNEER Robot For LHC Inspection
|
8.2
Engineers at the UK Atomic Energy Authority robotics centre RACE unveiled PipelNEER, a 20-centimetre autonomous robot to inspect beamline pipes in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The device uses AI-trained computer vision and sensors to detect RF contact faults in ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic conditions, can traverse passages as narrow as 3.7 cm and travel up to 6 km per charge.
