Enabling industry is one of our top priorities, and our team provides essential skills, knowledge and support when it comes to remote handling in extreme environments.

Robotics is critical to the UKAEA mission to ‘deliver sustainable fusion energy and maximise scientific and economic impact,’ and alongside our partners from industry and academia we believe we can solve the biggest global engineering challenges.
