Robosys Automation Aims to Streamline Offshore Wind Environmental Data Collection
various aspects such as bird monitoring and sea conditions. Data is collected manually and analyzed after it reaches shore, significantly slowing down the decision-making process.Project ORACLES will address this by leveraging advanced marine robotics, advanced autonomous systems, and other digital ocean technologies, a move expected to help the industry meet the UK’s target of 60GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.The project consortium includes ACUAOcean, MSEIS, Plymouth Marine Laboratories, and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult.Funding for Project ORACLES was secured through the UK Research
Lander Lab: Chilean Ocean Lander Data Acquisition and Control System
IntroductionThere are enormous technological challenges in accessing and sampling hadal depths, but the recent surge in the development of deep-ocean technologies ranging from ocean landers, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and human-occupied vehicles (HOVs) has allowed the oceanography of trenches to be addressed.Ocean landers are a cost-effective class of autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle that possess a unique capacity for exceptionally quiet, extended stays on the seafloor, studying benthic communities and environments by in-situ sensing and sampling. Multiple landers can be used to survey
