Description
The Robotics for Extreme Environments Laboratory (REEL) is a sister site to the Dalton Cumbrian Facility (Westlakes Science and Technology Site) in Cleator Moor, Cumbria. We host approximately 8 full time researchers (PhD student and postdoctoral research associates) who work on a range of projects including: mobile ground robots for exploration or routine inspection, water vehicles for inspection and maintenance, characterisation methods (LIBS) as well as path planning and map generation. We have a number of demonstrator facilities which we use to benchmark our robotics technologies against- including a mock fuel pool (water tank), a reconfigurable arena to test mobile platforms and a pipe crawler test rig. We aim to show demonstrations of some of our higher TRL platforms on the day including the MALLARD, CARMA and CARMA EDD robots (please see: http://uomrobotics.com/, https://nuclearrobots.org/, https://rainhub.org.uk/ for further info).
