ASRND: Autonomous Scout Rover for Nuclear Decommissioning

该项目将开发一个自主侦察漫游车系统，用于核环境的扫描和绘图，作为退役工作的一部分。侦察漫游车是一种智能自主机器，能够在没有人为干预的情况下进行操作，其长期目标是使核设施退役更安全，更快。创新的机器人系统将绘制否则无法进入的，混乱的核环境，为随后的安全关键操作提供重要信息。它的自主性将使它能够对人类操作员无法进入的危险环境进行频繁、重复的检查，从而对危险区域进行常规监测，降低等待退役的核电站造成的风险。该项目结合了OC Robotics在封闭和危险环境中访问和操作的经验，以及空中客车防务和航天公司在自主导航方面的尖端专业知识，最初是为欧洲航天局的ExoMars 2020 Rover使命开发的。

This project will develop an autonomous scout rover system, for scanning and mapping of a nuclear environment as a part of decommissioning effort. The scout rover is an intelligent autonomous machine capable of conducting operations without human interaction, with the long term goal of making decommissioning of nuclear sites safer and quicker. The innovative robotic system will map otherwise inaccessible, cluttered nuclear environments providing vital information for subsequent safety-critical operations. It's autonomy will allow it to perform frequent, repeat inspections of a hazardous environment inaccessible to a human operator allowing hazardous areas to be routinely monitored - reducing the risk caused by nuclear plants awaiting decommissioning. This project combines OC Robotics' demonstrated experience in accessing and operating in confined and hazardous environments with Airbus Defence and Space's cutting-edge expertise in autonomous navigation, originally developed for the European Space Agency's ExoMars 2020 Rover Mission.
