Orano, a leading company in the recovery and transformation of nuclear materials, and Capgemini, a global business and technology transformation partner powered by artificial intelligence, have announced the deployment of the first intelligent humanoid robot in the nuclear industry. The project represents a significant milestone for a sector known for its focus on innovation and advanced technology.
The humanoid robot, named Hoxo, has been deployed at the Orano Melox Ecole des Métiers in the Gard region of France. Equipped with embedded artificial intelligence and advanced sensors, Hoxo enables real-time perception, autonomous navigation, technical task execution, and interaction. It is designed to replicate human movements and work alongside teams in nuclear facilities, including in complex operational environments.
Over the next four months, Orano Melox’s innovation teams will carry out a testing phase to assess the robot’s full range of applications, focusing on mobility, precision, and artificial intelligence. This initiative aims to enhance industrial performance and provide operators with robotic assistance through an agile and adaptable platform.
“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 of 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 at Capgemini and member of the Group Executive Committee.
