Global Underwater Hub is holding its annual Underwater Robotics Conference on Thursday, 27 November, an event that has is a central strand in the organisation’s programme of activity.

 

Underwater robotic technology has become an essential tool within the oil and gas sector, enabling safe, efficient and cost-effective operations.  The technologies and their applications are now being utilised in many marine operations, including offshore renewables, defence, ocean science and aquaculture.  Alongside remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), seabed crawlers, gliders and autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) or uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) are driving forward underwater robotic technology and its applications.

 

This one-day conference in Westhill, Aberdeen will bring together individuals with a vested interest in the development and application of underwater robotic technology.  It offers an opportunity to learn from and network with colleagues working at the forefront of subsea robotic technologies.

 

Previous editions of the conference have welcomed representatives of oil and gas operators, subsea contractors, equipment manufacturers, service providers and many more, keen to share knowledge and experience that helps to keep driving forward this innovative industry.

 

• Learn about the latest developments in underwater robotic technology
• Engage with key industry stakeholders
• Share knowledge, ideas and experiences with fellow attendees
• Gain insight on underwater robotic hardware and peripherals
• Find out about challenges and opportunities facing the underwater sector
• Discuss how advancing technologies can be harnessed for the future.
