Wave-Powered Subsea Project Completes 12-Month Offshore Test Campaign
as well as tremendous support from the oil majors, led us to extend the program to a full year. We now have increasing confidence in the reliability and the commercial potential of this system,” said Andy Martin, Chief Commercial Officer at Verlume.“In the subsequent months, all the technology providers will examine critical components for wear and tear against performance metrics defined both individually and as a fully integrated power and communications ecosystem. A key part of this process will be assessing lessons learned and any future upgrades that may be required for a fully

returns in 2017 with more presenting companies and more investors and channel partners expected. And finally, while TMA is best known for our ocean tech work, we are a cluster that covers both fresh and salt water. This year, for the first time, we are running multiple tracks for ocean and water technology providers and users – our member companies sell across both domains – including a dedicated water track with six panels. We will also have water clusters with us for the first time. What makes BlueTech Week stand out from other conferences dedicated to the ocean science and

. The recent shift in industry focus from AUVs being platform/hardware-centric to becoming sensor/software-centric is creating significant sector growth potential for cost-effective and autonomous platforms." Emergence of Robotics as a Service "The general trend among many technology providers is a long-term migration away from selling products to selling services and this also holds true in underwater robotics. We believe that future development of underwater robotic intelligence will come in the form of providing high resolution seabed pixels by the hour via Robotics as a Service
