National Centre for Nuclear Robotics (NCNR) is a science and engineering research consortium of eight universities in the UK led by the University of Birmingham, aiming to develop technologies to address the problem of nuclear waste in the UK. As part of the initiative NCNR is developing technologies such as machine vision, artificial intelligence and advanced robotics to decommission 4.9 million tonnes of nuclear waste generated by the nuclear industry in the country over the past since the early 1950s.
