An international project led by NUI Galway has been awarded €1m in EU funding.
The ROCSAFE project – or Remotely Operated CBRNe Scene Assessment & Forensic Examination, has secured Horizon 2020 funding.
The project uses robotics and intelligent reasoning to gather forensic evidence in the event of a chemical, biological or nuclear incident.
It will reduce the need for investigators to enter dangerous scenes to gather evidence.
The overall project budget is €4.8m of which almost €1m has been awarded to NUIG.
It’s a collaboration between NUIG and five other Irish entities, including the Defence Forces as well as 13 partners worldwide.
