SIMAN V & V

由英国中小企业i3D机器人公司领导，该项目建立在先前的SIMAN（核智能成像）概念验证演示器的基础上，旨在为手套箱和核机器人操作生产一种能够承受低水平辐射环境的新系统。开展的工作包括：与机器人系统的接口，允许手套箱退役；开发用于危险物体检测的机器学习算法，并为新一代使用远程操作的手套箱开发3D输出。这个新的验证和验证项目“SIMAN V&V”将生产和演示SIMAN系统的中级耐辐射版本，进一步推进原始设计概念。该系统可用于核部门的其他领域，如自主退役和废物分类和分离，这允许更多的利益相关者展示和参与替代性跨部门应用，共享极端和具有挑战性的环境。为了保证人类工人的安全，生产的机器人数字化技术在一系列行业中有着广泛的应用，这些行业在2019冠状病毒病大流行之后需要类似的技术来保持可持续性。

Led by i3D Robotics, a UK SME, this project builds on the previous SIMAN (Smart IMAging for Nuclear) proof of concept demonstrator which aims to produce a novel system for glovebox and nuclear robotic operations capable of withstanding low level, radiation environments. Work undertaken includes; the interfacing with robotics systems to allow for glovebox decommissioning; developing machine learning algorithms for hazardous object detection and 3D output for a new generation of gloveboxes that will use tele-operations. This new verification and validation project, "SIMAN V&V" will produce and demonstrate an intermediate level, radiation tolerant version of the SIMAN system furthering the original design concept.Qualification of the system for use in other areas of the nuclear sector, such as autonomous decommissioning and sort and segregation of waste allows for greater stakeholder demonstrations and engagement in alternative cross sector applications sharing extreme and challenging environments. Designed to keep human workers safe, the robotic, digitised technology produced has wide reaching applications within a range of industries which now require similar technologies to maintain sustainability in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
