RACE's Haptics Simulator is a training tool for robotics operators working at some of the world's most important robotics projects including JET, Sellafield and Fukushima. The simulator provides a low-cost and low-risk environment for robot operators to develop their skills on haptic devices.
The software uses a physics simulator to mimic haptic robotics, allowing operators to practise even the most challenging tasks in a low-risk environment - just like a flight simulator. This work was performed in collaboration with Generic Robotics and equally co-funded by UKAEA, the NDA and TEPCO.
-------------------------------
UKAEA’s mission is to deliver sustainable fusion energy and maximise scientific and economic impact. Fusion, the process that powers the sun, can play a big part in our carbon-free energy future.
UKAEA leads the world in fusion research with a wide range of programmes covering robotics, materials testing and development, and tritium science. Our scientists and engineers are working with partners around the globe to develop fusion as a new source of clean energy for tomorrow’s power stations.
