How Orano & Capgemini's Robots Could Change Nuclear Energy
Orano and Capgemini have introduced Hoxo, an AI-powered humanoid robot, at the Melox facility in France to improve nuclear operations and industrial performance. This robot is considered the first intelligent humanoid robot deployed in the nuclear sector at the Orano Melox Ecole des Métiers in the Gard region.
Hoxo combines embedded AI, advanced sensors, and autonomous navigation systems, specifically designed for nuclear environments. It will undergo a four-month testing phase where Orano Melox's innovation teams will assess its capabilities in mobility, precision, and AI-driven tasks.
The robot features real-time perception and can perform technical gestures while working alongside human teams. Its design allows it to mimic human movements, which Capgemini and Orano believe could be crucial for complex interventions in nuclear facilities.
"This project, led by our AI Robotics & Experiences Lab, embodies the convergence of robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision and digital twins," says Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini and member of the Group Executive Committee. "It redefines human-machine interaction in sensitive environments and pushes the boundaries of industrial automation."
Hoxo's introduction highlights significant progress in integrating robotics and AI to enhance safety and efficiency in the nuclear industry.
