Aquatic AI robots have been developed to help maintain the UK’s 2,600 offshore windfarms.

There could be 10,400 such windfarms off the UK coast by 2030 but maintaining them is difficult.

00:00In the near future, worldwide, we're going to have hundreds of thousands of wind turbines.
00:19And these turbines will need to be inspected and maintained offshore.
00:24At the moment, the technology we have involves big ships with a big crew, and they're not
00:29carbon efficient, and they don't scale.
00:31So what we're developing here is a fully autonomous robotic solution, which will be remotely controlled
00:38from shore by a radio crew with autonomous boats deploying autonomous vehicles like these
00:44ones that can do the job at scale.
