Subsea Robotics: Aquanauts, Hydronauts, Roll Out

(Nic) Radford, who set up the firm in his living room eight years ago, doesn’t hold back his ambition. Innovation has been “mind numbingly slow” in the offshore industry, he says. Part of Nauticus’ ambition is to “put an adrenaline shot” into it, by taking robotics technology developed for space flight into the ocean.“My dream is to have a network of Aquanauts and Hydronauts out there working, a whole Navy of them, being controlled by control centers around the world, out there 24/7 doing their thing. That's the core of the business. There's an ocean

Subsea Infrastructure Power Looks at Renewables

, Verlume will be starting demonstrations involving two different wave energy devices, from third parties, working with U.S. defense organizations as well as oil and gas operators and service companies in Scotland and Hawaii. The company is also working with wind energy developers, an underwater robotics technology developer, and more.It’s all about delivering power. Slorach says there are a number of energy sources – including even degraded power umbilicals – but they are largely variable and or intermittent, so there needs to be a good way to connect them to users that need a constant
