CASE STUDY
Tap to watch video navigation, execution of technical gestures and interaction. Its purpose is to replicate human movements and operate alongside teams within nuclear facilities, including in challenging intervention environments.
Over the next four months, Orano Melox’ s innovation teams will conduct a testing phase to validate the robot’ s range of applications, combining mobility, precision and artificial intelligence. By offering an agile, scalable robotic platform, this initiative is expected to enhance industrial performance and potentially support operators through robotic assistance.
“ Hoxo opens new perspectives for our operations by combining an intelligent and ergonomic robotic solution with the expertise of our on-site teams.
It’ s an innovation we aim to evolve to meet our industrial needs, contributing to both safety and competitiveness as we tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow,” said Arnaud Capdepon, Director, Orano Melox.
“ This project, led by our AI Robotics and Experiences Lab, embodies the convergence of robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision and digital twins. It redefines human-machine interaction in sensitive environments and pushes the boundaries of industrial automation. Through this initiative, we harness the potential of physical AI to address Orano’ s most demanding industrial challenges,” said Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer, Capgemini and member of the Group Executive Committee.
Embodying intelligence: The challenge of Physical AI in the real world
Cambridge Consultants, the deep tech powerhouse of Capgemini, are currently exploring the next step in the potential role of humanoid robotics and physical AI.
Ali Shafti, Head of Human-Machine Understanding, Cambridge Consultants, said artificial intelligence is stepping out of its digital confinement and gaining the senses and limbs necessary to understand and effect change in the real world.
“ This transition has sparked a significant debate on the ideal form factor for Physical AI across industrial environments.
“ On one side, special-purpose robotics offer targeted efficiency for specific environments and narrowly defined tasks. On the other, generalpurpose robots, such as humanoids, promise the www. intelligentcio. com
