ROBOTICS & AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
Investment in robotic solutions provides the UK with an unparalleled opportunity to leverage our competitive advantage in developing offshore wind. New and existing robotics, autonomous systems (RAS) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can be used to improve the operations and maintenance of offshore renewable energy infrastructure.
If the UK is to meet its Net Zero targets by 2050, our offshore wind capacity needs to expand more than seven times over. This future scale-up of operations, pushing into ever deeper waters, will need the help of RAS for everything from design to maintenance and repair.
ROBOTIC TESTING & ENGINEERING FACILIITIES
We provide world-leading test, validation and demonstration facilities for the advancement of robotics technology, as well as data and digital integration. Our primary demonstration sites in Blyth, Grimsby and Levenmouth, in addition to our regional operations around the UK, provide extensive support for technology developers, SMEs and innovators to de-risk and prove performance of early-stage and mature robotic concepts.
Our robotics and automous facilities and services include:
Dedicated digital and robotics (DARE) centre
Testing and demonstration in realistic environments
7MW demonstration turbine
Training tower
Dock facilities
