ITER Utilizes Godzilla Robot for Tokamak Assembly Development in France
ITER is employing a powerful industrial robot named Godzilla, standing four meters tall, to aid in the assembly of a tokamak in France. Set to test tools for the installation of 20,000 components, Godzilla will begin testing in March. The robot can lift loads up to 2.3 metric tons and will optimize assembly operations for various components. Collaborating with CNIM Systèmes Industriels and Larsen & Toubro, ITER aims for full magnetic energy by 2036 and deuterium-tritium operations by 2039.

ITER is using a four-meter tall robot named Godzilla, the most powerful industrial robot ever, to assist in the assembly of a tokamak in France. Godzilla will help develop technologies for installing 20,000 components within the vacuum vessel, with testing set to begin in March.
Capable of lifting 2.3 metric tons, it will also enhance the efficiency of assembly operations by allowing quick tool changes. Collaborating with CNIM Systèmes Industriels and Larsen & Toubro, ITER plans to achieve full magnetic energy by 2036 and initiate deuterium-tritium operations by 2039. The fourth of nine sector modules was installed on January 28-29, with four more planned for 2026.
