Background
The UK leads the world for offshore wind, having more installed capacity in its waters than any other country. As we push towards the UK Government’s target of at least 30GW by 2030, the imperative is to ensure that UK businesses lead the global export market for offshore wind manufacturing, technologies and services too. This is where robotics come into the picture…
We convene robotics and renewable energy industry experts to discuss how a heady mix of crawling, climbing and sailing robots, NASA mission planning and global-scale wind operators will achieve this goal.
Times: 10.00 – 11.30am
Agenda:
Today’s offshore environment
- De-risking robotics in offshore environments
- The data analytics challenge
- Mission planning challenges: getting the robots to work together
Inspiration for extreme robots in offshore renewables
- Bringing in experience of extreme robots from other sectors
- Jobs of the future: getting humans and robots to work together
Futurology: scenarios for the next ten, twenty and thirty years
- What is possible and what is the long-term vision for offshore wind operations?
