Wave-busting tech from Edinburgh keeps robots steady in stormy waters


Robotic solutions at offshore energy sites can help deliver clean green energy in a safer and cost effective manner.

New computational tools developed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh could help these robots work even in turbulent seas, delivering safety and cost-effectiveness at the same time, a press release said. The computational and experimental tools developed by the engineering team at Edinburgh help autonomous robots maintain steady positions even when encountering irregular waves. “Increasing the use of autonomous robots to help maintain offshore renewable installations could have a transformative effect on cutting the cost of producing clean energy,” said Francesco Giorgio-Serchi, associate professor at the University.
