In early september joint team of researchers from DORADO and XS-ABILITY projects conducted a joint mission to scan premises at Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant.
Goal of the mission was to test emerging robotic and digitalization technologies, including Boston Spot dog, Elios drone or Jackal UGV, in harsh and radioactive environments. The mission went very well and the team brought back home a lot of data, such as point clouds, hotspots or dose rate maps.
In this webinar we would like to share with you our experience and lessons learnt. We also would be very happy to listen to your ideas about future research activities.
