Advancements on Aerial Robotic Systems and Sensor Technologies for Future HEP Detectors

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has pioneered the development of a robotic Lighter-than-Air (LtA) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), specifically a blimp, aimed at mitigating radiation exposure risks for human personnel and optimizing detector uptime. This document elucidates the evolution of a blimp detection model based on deep learning algorithms and its integration within a localization system based on external cameras. Furthermore, it explores the integration process of a hybrid pixel detector for real-time radiation monitoring within the blimp payload.
