Our primary objective is to instill robotics platforms with the physical and decision-making skills necessary to operate effectively in hazardous environments inaccessible to humans. High radiation fields pose an imminent threat to human health and wellbeing but also electronics and semiconductors are susceptible to malfunctions and damage from ionizing radiation.
XPR covers the following scenarios and missions that require different strategies, tactics, and equipment, and they can often overlap in complex modern situations and conflicts:
National security, civilian nuclear, industrial, and radiopharmaceutical
-
Emergency and accident conditions in nuclear facilities.
-
Rapid access to areas with high radiation fields for improved worker health and process efficiency.
-
Maintenance and repairs in high-radiation areas.
-
Decommissioning of highly neutron activated structures.
-
Retrieving targets or samples from accelerator facilities.
-
Moving or processing materials when remote options are not available.
-
Short-lived radionuclides in production or through activation.
-
Special tasks during nuclear refueling.
CBRN military support operations
-
Nuclear device detonation (tactical or strategic deployment, terror attack); protection of critical infrastructure and military and civilian personnel (from radiological exposure devices, radiological dispersal devices, accident conditions at a nuclear or radiological facility).
-
CBRN reconnaissance, e.g., mapping physical environment for subsequent human access.
-
CBRN search and rescue such as retrieving casualties or providing optimized conditions for subsequent (human) access.
XPR offers mission-tailored AI-enabled solutions to seamlessly integrate radiation hardened intelligent sensors (edge/cloud) to address real-time decision-support at the operations center (or command post) regarding personnel safety, health, and prioritization of rescue, support, repair, and any kind of mission-critical actions prior to the radiological decay of short-lived radionuclides.
