Autonomous systems are becoming capable of perceiving, interpreting, and navigating complex nuclear environments in ways that go well beyond earlier generations of remote and robotic tools. This session examines how AI-enabled capabilities are changing what physical systems can do in operations and maintenance. The discussion spans technology maturity, deployment experience, and the strategic choices organizations face as these capabilities move from demonstration to sustained use.

What You'll Gain:

Develop a clearer understanding of how AI-enabled perception and navigation are expanding the operational envelope of autonomous systems in nuclear environments. Leave with a stronger foundation for evaluating these capabilities against your own O&M challenges and a practical sense of what separates organizations that are deploying successfully from those exploring this technology.

Who Should Attend:

Operations and maintenance engineers, radiation protection professionals, site technology and innovation leads, and plant managers evaluating or actively deploying autonomous systems.
