Egg sized Robots developed by the scientists, can directly monitor nuclear reactors and pinpoint corrosion. These robots are underwater patrollers with cameras which can withstand a reactor’s extreme radioactive environment, transmitting images in real time from within. At present, ultrasound is used by the plant inspectors to screen lengths of pipe for cracks.
Egg sized Robots were developed by Harry Asada and his team. Harry Asada is a professor of mechanical engineering at Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
