Spherical robot helps detect radioactivity in pipes

Spherical robot helps detect radioactivity in pipes

One great thing about robots is this – they never tire out, and are impervious to radioactivity – making it possible for them to work in hazardous environments for extended periods of time without experiencing fatigue. This tiny spherical robot that you see on the right will feature a built-in camera that allows it to check out what is going through the labyrinth of underground pipes of a nuclear reactor. To get around, it won't remain passive, but rather, will propel itself using an internal network of valves and pumps.
