Overview

Developed a Unitree Go2-based robotic radiation monitoring prototype designed to support remote, safety-oriented surveys in compact clinical X-ray environments. The system combines a custom sensing payload, real-time telemetry, waypoint-based movement, and 2D/3D heatmap generation, with testing focused on workflow feasibility, signal integrity, and comparison against clinical-grade dosimetry hardware.

What was developed

  • Integrated a Unitree Go2 quadruped platform with a custom radiation sensing payload.
  • Developed a real-time telemetry workflow between the robot and workstation.
  • Generated 2D and 3D radiation heatmaps for spatial visualisation.
  • Implemented structured Excel / CSV data export for analysis and audit support.
  • Cross-validated sensor readings against clinical-grade dosimetry hardware.
  • Investigated EMI and signal integrity challenges during robotic integration.
  • Designed the system around remote supervision and safety-oriented monitoring.
