Russia’s production association Mayak (part of Rosatom) says that, in 2024, it will put into operation two new robotic systems - Mustang and Tornado. The Tornado reconnaissance robot was developed at the NE Bauman Moscow State Technical University. It is able to overcome any obstacles and can even negotiate flooded premises. This small all-terrain vehicle can carry out radiation reconnaissance and engineering work with ionising radiation sources. It can move quickly inside buildings and along flights of stairs. It is equipped with a camera, a gamma visor, a 3D scanner, and is controlled via a radio channel at a distance of up to one kilometre. It can operate in strong radiation fields, where the level of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation is very high.
