Supporting the LHC research community since 2001
TIM robot in the LHC tunnel
Work with robot TIM ( Train Inspection Monorail) and its robotic arm in LHC tunnel. TIM is a spy patrolling robot working in the 27-km tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).This smart machine is used for real-time monitoring of the LHC tunnel: the tunnel structure, the oxygen percentage, the communication bandwidth and the temperature.
