ABOUT

The EDF use case focuses on introducing advanced human–robot collaboration into inspection and intervention activities related to nuclear power plant decommissioning. These operations are currently performed in hazardous and constrained environments, requiring prolonged task execution under strict safety procedures, which leads to operator exposure to radiation risks and accumulated physical strain. The objective of this pilot is to reduce operator presence in harmful environments, increase the degree of remote operation, and improve the reliability and consistency of inspection and dismantling activities, while keeping humans in control of critical decisions.

The envisaged JARVIS solution deploys robotic systems equipped with advanced perception and interaction capabilities to support 3D cartography, radiation characterization, and dismantling tasks. Overall, this case aims to demonstrate how human–robot collaboration can enhance safety, robustness, and operational efficiency in safety-critical nuclear decommissioning operations.
