Just guessing... but I read an article on Congo guerrillas in which the reporter refers to "casques" as a measure related to the content of a helmet with uranium ore to be traded.
And I understand robot is a mobile robot as used in mining and to transport hazardous materials.

context??

Is this about decommissioning of a nuclear power plant?

Recover 2 helmets and a uranium-handling robot?
