About

P. Bayetti is a leading figure in fusion engineering, specializing in the development of remote-handling systems for tokamak environments. Their research centers on the design and operation of inspection robots capable of withstanding the extreme vacuum and temperature conditions inside fusion reactors, a critical need for ITER and future devices. Bayetti’s most impactful contribution is the Articulated Inspection Arm (AIA) project, demonstrated on the Tore Supra tokamak. This work, detailed in their top-cited paper (64 citations), proved the feasibility of deploying a multi-jointed robot for in-vessel inspection without disrupting plasma conditioning. Bayetti also advanced real-time command control architectures for such robots (20 citations) and developed in-situ diagnostic tools for light multipurpose carriers (7 citations). Their contributions to steady-state tokamak research, documented in a 29-citation paper, further highlight their role in solving key ITER-relevant challenges. By bridging robotics and plasma physics, Bayetti’s work directly supports the safe, efficient maintenance of next-generation fusion reactors.
