A robotic complex for remote measurement of radiation levels within a radius of 100 meters has been developed at the National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI). This was reported by the university's press service.
The device operates on a mobile platform. It is controlled remotely by an operator using a radio signal.
The robotic complex is capable of measuring radiation levels within a radius of up to 25 meters indoors and up to 100 meters in open spaces. The operating range of the device can be increased to 1 km using a mobile modem and an alternative communication channel.
The most common gamma spectrometers in the industry are scintillation or semiconductor detectors. Our xenon detector has advantages over both: it has good energy resolution (better than a scintillation detector) and does not require cooling (unlike semiconductor detectors), meaning it operates without additional equipment.
The unit is equipped with an electric motor. The device's carrying capacity is 20 kg. This allows it to transport a gamma spectrometer and the electronics necessary for operation.
The average speed of the robotic complex is 1 m/s. The battery is designed for 2 hours of continuous operation.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Rostec presented a radiation-resistant complex for nuclear power plants at the Army-2024 forum.
