Thanks to new autonomous robotics technology developed at the University of Edinburgh called Project UNITE, offshore wind maintenance costs could plummet by 97%. The system slashes daily fuel consumption from 7,000 to 200 liters by replacing traditional vessel-based operations with AI-powered robots that can maintain position stability in turbulent seas. The robotic system operates via seafloor-tethered wave sensors transmitting real-time directional and amplitude data. This enables dynamic positioning capabilities even amid irregular, buffeting waves. Dr. Kyle Walker, lead developer of the control algorithms, explains the technical breakthrough: “A major limitation at present is robots’ ability to perceive and counteract environmental … Continue reading Wind Maintenance Costs Cut by 97% with AI-Powered Robots Stabilizing in High Seas
