UKAEA to lead the creation of £4.9m nuclear robotics and AI cluster linking Cumbria and Oxfordshire. The UK’s Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), the UK’s national laboratory for the development of fusion energy, is to lead the creation of a new £4.9 million nuclear robotics and artificial intelligence cluster across Cumbria and Oxfordshire. The robotics and AI cluster was announced by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as one of seven new projects to kickstart economic growth and address regional needs: The robotics and AI cluster will link Cumbria and Oxfordshire to accelerate the decommissioning of the UK’s legacy nuclear fission facilities and keep people out of hazardous environments.
