Session.2. Workshops – 10.10am-11.30am

20 mins/session with discussion and Q&A

Workshop 1 – How to Validate Offshore Energy Robotics and Autonomous Systems

10.10am-10.30am

This workshop will investigate some of the needs, challenges and opportunities in validating Offshore RAS systems – Mathew Hadden, ORE Catapult

Workshop 2 – Residency for O&M (topside and subsea)

10.30am-10.50am

This workshop will investigate the potential for residency offshore. What does this unlock un terms of frequency and quality of operations? What are the cost implications and what enabling technology is required?

Dan Sumner – ORE Catapult

Workshop 3 – Offshore Wind Consenting technology

10.50am-11.10am

This workshop will investigate technologies that have the potential to optimise consenting. How can machine learning improve environmental monitoring? How can unmanned platforms gather critical information? Can we improve the state of the art around UXO removal?

Alex Louden, ORE Catapult

Workshop 4 – Smart Logistics for renewables

11.10am-11.30am

This workshop will investigate technologies that have the potential to optimise logistics and parts transfer. Are there smarter ways of running vessel management systems? What role do UAVs have with parts transfer? How do we improve port-side operations.

Daniel Allington – ORE Catapult
