It has these meccano wheels so that it can move side to side easily. so, we might send robots to an area where a human might not want to go either due to risk of some oxygen depletion or some gas leaks or even if there is presence of radiation. it has got lots of different sensors on it. mostly we use cameras. this is to give what we call tele—presence so the operator has a more intuitive way of controlling and interacting with the robot. so, here you are looking at the beginnings of the prototype of the fcc robot. this could be where the future of cern is going — to build a new accelerato...

At the beginnings of the prototype of the fcc robot. this could be where the future of cern is going — to build a new accelerator 100 kilometres in circumference, and in that accelerator environment, robots will be really important both as tools you can use for inspection, maintenance and repair, but also as first responders. this is a novel robotic system we are building that will inspect the inside of radio frequency cavities that give acceleration to the beam, and it is really important that the inner surface is perfectly machined, and so we built this robotic system to take thousands of ...
