This paper presents a technical overview of AutoInspect, a ROS-based software system for
robust and extensible mission-level autonomy. Over the past three years we have deployed AutoInspect
on multiple platforms in a variety of environments, from forests to fusion reactors, for durations ranging
from hours to weeks. The AutoInspect system combin…
Abstract. A novel approach for efficient representation of three-dimensional (3D) tokamak equilibria is investigated, where a set of helical current filaments occupying the plasma region are employed to resolve deviations from the two-dimensional (2D) axi-symmetric state. A discrete set of 3D filaments, located at rational surfaces for a given t…
The development of improved designs for components which will be subject to high heat fluxes has been identified as a critical challenge for the realisation of commercial fusion power. This paper presents details of a facility which allows early verification of thermofluid and thermomechananical performance of prototype components and enables compa…
