Created by Capgemini and Orano, the robot uses computer vision, advanced sensors, and embedded AI to move through tight spaces, read equipment, support maintenance, and operate safely in high-radiation zones.
Hoxo can mimic human actions, navigate autonomously, and make real-time decisions using digital-twin technology. It’s now being tested at the Orano Melox plant, marking a significant step toward greater automation in nuclear operations. The aim is to boost safety, improve efficiency, and redefine how humans and AI robots work together in hazardous industrial environments. less
