TESTING ROBOTS IN DEPARTMENT STORES – DSTL TRIALS RUN IN REAL WORLD ENVIRONMENTS
Description
Autonomous advantage – Dstl and Defra assesses robotic systems in hazardous incident recovery trial. Future hazardous incidents could be responded to by robots rather than people following tests by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory alongside the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs Chemical, biological and radiological substances can pose a significant risk to public health, especially in confined spaces which concentrate vapours and spills. Robots allow the human operators to manage any contamination but remain at a safe distance away from any harmful substances. – Dstl’s science and technology is vital to keeping our Armed Forces safe and the UK secure.
