Physics-guided AI enables safer robotic radiation source localization

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for robotic radiation source localization (RSL) that utilizes a physics-informed machine learning (PIML) model. This approach allows robots to accurately estimate radiation source locations in unknown environments, irrespective of their measurement paths, thereby enhancing safety by avoiding direct approach to the source. The PIML model incorporates physics-inspired tensors to process attenuated gamma-ray signals and uses parallel computations for improved robustness. The method has been validated through high-fidelity simulations and physical experiments, with continuous learning techniques applied for real-world deployment. AI

IMPACT Enhances safety and efficiency in hazardous environments by enabling robots to locate radiation sources without direct approach.
