The undergraduate team from Harbin Engineering University achieved a special prize at the 18th "Challenge Cup" National Extracurricular Academic and Technological Works Competition for College Students. Their success is attributed to the development of an intelligent inspection robot designed specifically for the nuclear power sector. This robot excels in performing routine inspections of core equipment and pipelines within highly radioactive nuclear environments. Notably, a single robot can effectively handle tasks equivalent to those that would typically require 100 individuals.

Their project has received considerable acclaim, with the team securing 13 invention patents, creating 4 software works, and publishing 2 high-quality papers. These achievements have garnered recognition and praise from prominent experts and scholars in both the international and domestic nuclear industry. Their innovative endeavors serve as a testament to the advancement of nuclear power safety through technological innovation!
