The first intelligent AI humanoid robot, Hoxo, has been deployed in the nuclear industry, according to Orano and Capgemini. For a vital industry that has traditionally been a leader in innovation, this project represents a significant advancement.
Hoxo, a robot installed at the Orano Melox Ecole des Métiers in the French region of the Gard, has sophisticated sensors and embedded artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time perception, autonomous navigation, technical gesture execution, and interaction. Its goal is to mimic human movements and work with teams in nuclear facilities, even in difficult intervention situations.
The AI Humanoid Robot, Hoxo spectrum of applications, which combine mobility, precision, and artificial intelligence (AI), will be tested over the course of the next four months by Orano Melox’s innovation teams. This project is anticipated to improve industrial performance and maybe provide operators with robotic support by providing an agile, scalable robotic platform.

“Hoxo opens new perspectives for our operations by combining an intelligent and ergonomic robotic solution with the expertise of our on-site teams. It’s an innovation we aim to evolve to meet our industrial needs, contributing to both safety and competitiveness as we tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow,” said Arnaud Capdepon, Director of Orano Melox.
“This project, led by our AI Robotics & Experiences Lab, embodies the convergence of robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and digital twins. It redefines human-machine interaction in sensitive environments and pushes the boundaries of industrial automation. Through this initiative, we harness the potential of physical AI to address Orano’s most demanding industrial challenges,” added Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini and member of the Group Executive Committee.
