Beam , a specialist in the field of underwater technology, has presented the Scout robot, an autonomous underwater vehicle ( AUV ) that performs daily customized inspection operations in offshore wind farms.
The Scout robot, the autonomous underwater vehicle
This submerged robot, powered by advanced artificial intelligence , has been designed to carry out underwater inspections, reducing the need for human intervention and increasing the operational efficiency of inspections.
[post_relacionado]The Scout robot marks the beginning of a new era for underwater inspections at renewable wind farms and is designed to address one of the key challenges facing the sector: the lack of offshore wind skills.
With the ability to perform detailed inspections and create high-resolution 3D models in real-time, Scout makes wind farm inspections faster and more cost-effective. In addition to its advanced capabilities,
By eliminating the need for specialized vessels, the submerged robotic vehicle contributes to reducing carbon footprint by minimizing CO₂ emissions associated with inspection operations. This technology improves process efficiency in the sector, and also has a positive impact on the sustainability of renewable energy operations.
Beam founder and CEO Brian Allen stresses that the launch of Scout is a direct response to the needs of a rapidly growing market.Our mission has always been to make offshore wind energy not only viable, but highly desirable. Scout will play a crucial role in accelerating the growth of the industry, facilitating autonomous and scalable operation of wind farms. “Allen said.
