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.
