This paper provides an updated summary of the research being conducted at the University of Manchester, UK, in support of the decommissioning plan for the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria, UK. The research is being conducted in collaboration with a number of companies including Sellafield Ltd, the National Nuclear Laboratory and Forth Engineering Ltd. The primary focus of the research is in support of the decommissioning of the legacy facilities on the Sellafield site, however the technology can be applied to other nuclear sites, both modern and legacy, as well as in other industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical and the marine industry. The progress on the development of novel characterisation platforms (mobile robots) and sensing systems is presented including the AVEXIS underwater inspection system, a robot spider for remote operations and algorithms for efficient compression of Lidar point cloud data.
