Robotics Fleets News Today

working in challenging and hazardous conditions. but here at heriot—watt university, theyre developing underwater robotic solutions to help take the strain. and theyve come up with this — the orca autonomous drone. weve got our scanning sonar, a mechanical scanning sonar. that can see all of these structures and items around the vehicle at quite a long distance. weve got an acoustic modem. this means that when we dont use the tether, we can communicate with the robot using sounds u...

that little bit safer. with an ever—growing demand for renewable and sustainable energy sources, the infrastructure that provides that energy is becoming increasingly critical. now, at present, those facilities are often maintained by human divers working in challenging and hazardous conditions. but here at heriot—watt university, theyre developing underwater robotic solutions to help take the strain. and theyve come up with this — the orca autonomous drone. weve got our scanning...

and it means novak djokovic will lose his number one status. good morning. something of a mixed weekend coming up. i think all of us will see some dry, hopefully sunny weather at some stage, but there are also going to be some showers moving on, particularly to the north and west of the uk. more details for you, as ever, coming up. it is saturday 21 may. our main story: russia has declared victory in its battle to conquer the ukrainian port city of mariupol after the last fighters defe...

do with one flying lap for paul, as rival max. verstappen was hit by power problems, charles leclerc was inch perfect to take his fourth pole inch perfect to take his fourth pole in six races ahead of max verstappen and team—mate carlos. ahead of that revival, muscle fourth, hamilton six. on sunday, you may well have seen them at the front already this season. ben croucher, bbc news. harlequins have secured a place in the rugby union premiership semi—finals. that didnt look likely ...

Currently, 80% of the cost of offshore wind is spent on maintenance through manned ships and technicians to do inspection and repair, so its easy to see how this robot could cut costs. but robots may also solve a practical issue as wind power expands. so, in the future, we are going to have not hundreds, but tens of thousands of wind farms. if youve got 10,000 wind turbines to inspect and if you have one person, one vehicle, you need 10,000 pilots, and you dont have them, they dont exist. were g...

So, in the future, we are going to have not hundreds, but tens of thousands of wind farms. if youve got 10,000 wind turbines to inspect and if you have one person, one vehicle, you need 10,000 pilots, and you dont have them, they dont exist. were going to need to replace or change the way we do things so that we can have several pilots monitoring tens or hundreds of those vehicles, so we need small—scale robotics fleets that are able to navigate these large farms and inspect and repair them re...
