National Centre for Nuclear Robotics

The NCNR brings together eight universities, delivering novel robotics, AI, sensing and embedded systems research to address industry-driven nuclear challenges

Imagine having to wear one of these suits to work every day. These are designed to protect to people cleaning up hazardous nuclear waste. Bulky, claustrophobic and they steam up easily! Robots can take #HumansOutOfHarm #NCNR #NuclearRobots #SmartRobots

[Nuclear Eng magazine @neimagazine]

British scientists from the @NCNRobotics have used fixed-wing #drones to create radiation maps of the Red Forest, one of the most contaminated areas near the Chernobyl #nuclear site: https://t.co/fLkrQsEKk6

The UK alone has 4.9million tonnes of legacy nuclear waste to dispose of – enough to fill Wembley Stadium.

Our team from @BristolUni recently conducted the world's first drone survey over #Chernobyl and the Fed Forest. This is one of their flight maps. Read the full story: https://t.co/EKtue6HrSk

Thank you to all the leading science, environment and engineering press who attended our media briefing at @Ri_Science today. Stories about #NuclearRobots, #SmartRobots & aerial mapping Chernobyl in the press tomorrow

Big thanks to @UKRobotics and everyone that joined in our #TwinklTeach chat tonight! Be sure to check out our blog post for more info on the contest and app! https://t.co/x6n1sIwyEw

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

Each of our 10 partner universities run a range of outreach programmes for children, so do look at their websites and they always welcome emailed inquiries directly #TwinklTeach

[Twinkl Resources @twinklresources]

So many interesting robotic facts in our #Twinklteach with @UKRobotics

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

The future sits in the next generation's hands to show us what they need. Once washing machines and iPhones seemed inconceivable and now it's inconceivable to live without them #TwinklTeach

[James Law @Dr_J_Law]

@twinklresources Robotics technology is also going to become more and more common in our daily lives - whether at work, at home, or in public spaces - and it's important that students have the opportunity to learn about what the future holds #TwinklTeach

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

Not only dangerous jobs but also repetitive and physically demanding roles can be done with humans controlling robots in a nice safe environment - perhaps while drinking a cup of tea 😀 #TwinklTeach

[FAIR-SPACE Hub @FAIR_SPACE_Hub]

@twinklresources @UKRobotics Robotics is also important to enable us to pass on those dangerous jobs to a machine that can do the work instead #TwinklTeach

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

Robotics is important because it allows us to safely explore new extreme environments without risk to human life and expand human knowledge in ways we could not previously have imagined #TwinklTeach

[Twinkl Resources @twinklresources]

Have you heard of Robotics week? Quick- join in our #Twinklteach with @UKRobotics

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

We are currently developing novel sensors to discover the world and create immersive model 3D representations that people can interact with #TwinklTeach

[FAIR-SPACE Hub @FAIR_SPACE_Hub]

@mattn123 @UKRobotics @twinklresources Good effort. 👍How about some sensors to make sure your robot doesn’t disappear off the edge - a mistake I have made several times so far! Still getting used to the App!#TwinklTeach

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

We definitely agree and are working on ways to make humans and robots work together safely and efficiently making jobs more fun! #TwinklTeach

[FAIR-SPACE Hub @FAIR_SPACE_Hub]

@twinklresources I think the next generation will play a significant role in embracing robotic technologies and of course developing them as well #TwinklTeach

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

The @NCNRobotics focuses on the actual use of robotics in the real world. We work on taking humans out of dangerous environments. #TwinklTeach

[Twinkl Resources @twinklresources]

Although this is a very fun competition, it's important to show children the role that robotics plays in the world today and in the future! #TwinklTeach

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

Robotics week for us is a chance for researchers to engage with the public and showcase our cutting edge robotics developments. One event we will be on 27th June at the Royal Geographical Society #TwinklTeach

[Twinkl Resources @twinklresources]

Join in with our #Twinklteach with @UKRobotics

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

@twinklresources @UKRobotics We've previously visited schools to build real robots however, this is the first time so many children can build a virtual robot #TwinklTeach

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

This competition allows children to build a robot and put it in unknown environments, just like we do at NCNR #twinklteach

[Twinkl Resources @twinklresources]

Welcome to our #Twinklteach with @UKRobotics

[National Centre for Nuclear Robotics @NCNRobotics]

Hello @UKRobotics we are looking forward to this chat and hope to answer your questions on real robotics! #twinklteach
