Robots are coming! With the recent emergence of advanced robotics and digital technologies, the time is right for cheaper and faster adoption of robotic systems to improve the efficiency and safety of nuclear applications. Join us for this two-panel session that will explore 1) the opportunities for robotics, AI, and digital twin technologies in commercial nuclear plant operations and cleanup-related tasks and 2) their broader implications and ramifications for society in the next decade and beyond.
