Radiation Mapping

Radiation mapping aims to precisely locate and quantify radiation sources, crucial for environmental monitoring and nuclear facility safety. Current research focuses on developing autonomous robotic systems for efficient and safe surveying, including specialized designs for challenging environments like pipes, and employing innovative detector architectures like Tetris-inspired pixel arrangements coupled with machine learning algorithms for improved resolution and source localization. These advancements offer significant improvements in radiation safety protocols and environmental monitoring capabilities, reducing human exposure risk and enhancing the accuracy of radiation assessments.
