In the last decade, the development of more compact and lightweight radiation detection
systems led to their application in handheld and small unmanned systems, particularly air …

Developing soft robots that can control their own life cycle and degrade on-demand while
maintaining hyperelasticity is a notable research challenge. On-demand degradable soft …

Multi-robot with nuclear radiation detectors plays a key role in nuclear safety and emergency
disposal of radioactive contamination. However, the existing multi-robot radioactive source …

Surveying active nuclear facilities for spread of alpha and beta contamination is currently
performed by human operators. However, a skills gap of qualified workers is emerging and …

To solve the problem of mobile robots autonomously searching for unknown radioactive
sources, this paper proposes an automatic source search strategy, abbreviated as IMUPF …

When hazardous sources threaten the environment, source term estimation is a crucial
concern. Robotics provides a secure solution to the issue but still encounters challenges in …

Both routine radiation surveys and incident response—as currently performed by human
workers—are time-consuming and involve significant, potentially unanticipated radiation …

This paper focuses on the multiple radiation source search problems, where the mobile
robot identifies the number and parameters of sources online while exploring an unknown …

Spotting radioactive material in waste is of paramount importance for environment
protection. This is particularly challenging when orphan sources are hidden in scrap metal …

We developed a path-planning system for radiation source identification devices using 4π
gamma imaging. The estimated source location and activity were calculated by an …
