Over the course of five decades marine autonomous and robotic systems have come a long way, from being largely experimental and development platforms that operate subsea to being flexible surface and subsurface vehicles used for real-world applications that deliver true operational advantage in Energy, Defense, Ocean Science and wider sectors.
Learn how:
- Early development Autonomous Underwater Vehicles like Autosub developed from one platform to the largest fleet of marine robotics in Europe – delivering groundbreaking missions under ice shelves, month long unescorted missions and helped shaped how the Royal Navy adopted marine robotics
- Uncrewed Surface Vessels were developed to satisfy scientific needs and are now being deployed widely for commercial and defence applications
- Innovative operations and technologies like, collaborative fleets of marine robotic systems, remote operations centres and digital twin, data visualisation have been funded by the UK govt and are now being used to transform how we operate at sea
- Developers and operators have overcome the multitude of challenges that remote marine robots present, including, Cyber Security, Navigation, Communications, Data quality and validation, power management, regulation, training, trials and proving the technologies and so much more…
And then, learn about where the technology is heading now – including things like resident systems, fully autonomous operations, and squads of robotics operating together.
