Osprey 1
Framatome will demonstrate the Autonomous Mobile Robot for Automated Clearance (AMORAC) on Monday, Aug. 5, at 5 p.m. in the Osprey 1 conference room. Manually clearing a building can be arduous, repetitive and time-consuming, resulting in increased radiation exposure and related costs. Join us for this live demo to see how AMORAC can help with this challenge. Using state-of-the-art technology to generate a 3-D map of the environment, AMORAC remotely and agilely employs contamination monitors, providing radiation measurements and hotspot locations with highly accurate digital and physical documentation.
