The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA)will remain at the forefront of UK robotics after the Government agreed last month to provide funding for a ￡3 million extension to its Remote Applications in Challenging Environments(RACE) research facility in Oxfordshire. Since opening at Culham in 2016, the RACE facility has conducted R&D into the use of robotics in extreme industrial environments and helped companies to develop their own autonomous systems. It is a key centre for implementing the Government's Robotics & Autonomous Systems strategy, which aims to equip the UK to compete in this emerging global industry.
