Fusion reactors need robots. This necessity is creating a huge demand for advanced, radiation-proof systems, making robotics the first commercial boom of the fusion economy. Here is how robotics is set to elevate fusion commercialization.

The UK just solved one of fusion energy’s toughest problems. In a world-first, UKAEA scientists used 3D magnetic coils to tame plasma instability inside a spherical tokamak, a breakthrough that could accelerate the shift toward compact, cost-effective fusion reactors.
