Imagine having to wear one of these suits to work every day. These are designed to protect to people cleaning up hazardous nuclear waste. Bulky, claustrophobic and they steam up easily! Robots can take #HumansOutOfHarm #NCNR #NuclearRobots #SmartRobots

British scientists from the @NCNRobotics have used fixed-wing #drones to create radiation maps of the Red Forest, one of the most contaminated areas near the Chernobyl #nuclear site: neimagazine.com/news/newsdro…

The UK alone has 4.9million tonnes of legacy nuclear waste to dispose of – enough to fill Wembley Stadium.

Our team from @BristolUni recently conducted the world's first drone survey over #Chernobyl and the Fed Forest. This is one of their flight maps. Read the full story: bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Each of our 10 partner universities run a range of outreach programmes for children, so do look at their websites and they always welcome emailed inquiries directly #TwinklTeach

The future sits in the next generation's hands to show us what they need. Once washing machines and iPhones seemed inconceivable and now it's inconceivable to live without them #TwinklTeach
Robotics technology is also going to become more and more common in our daily lives - whether at work, at home, or in public spaces - and it's important that students have the opportunity to learn about what the future holds #TwinklTeach

Not only dangerous jobs but also repetitive and physically demanding roles can be done with humans controlling robots in a nice safe environment - perhaps while drinking a cup of tea 😀 #TwinklTeach
23 Apr 2019
Robotics is also important to enable us to pass on those dangerous jobs to a machine that can do the work instead #TwinklTeach

Robotics is important because it allows us to safely explore new extreme environments without risk to human life and expand human knowledge in ways we could not previously have imagined #TwinklTeach

We are currently developing novel sensors to discover the world and create immersive model 3D representations that people can interact with #TwinklTeach

Good effort. 👍How about some sensors to make sure your robot doesn’t disappear off the edge - a mistake I have made several times so far! Still getting used to the App!#TwinklTeach

We definitely agree and are working on ways to make humans and robots work together safely and efficiently making jobs more fun! #TwinklTeach
23 Apr 2019
I think the next generation will play a significant role in embracing robotic technologies and of course developing them as well #TwinklTeach
23 Apr 2019
The @NCNRobotics focuses on the actual use of robotics in the real world. We work on taking humans out of dangerous environments. #TwinklTeach
23 Apr 2019
Although this is a very fun competition, it's important to show children the role that robotics plays in the world today and in the future! #TwinklTeach

Robotics week for us is a chance for researchers to engage with the public and showcase our cutting edge robotics developments. One event we will be on 27th June at the Royal Geographical Society #TwinklTeach

This competition allows children to build a robot and put it in unknown environments, just like we do at NCNR #twinklteach
