Visual inspection of large infrastructure assets in extreme environments, such as offshore wind turbines, is essential for maintaining performance and ensuring safety. However, it is expensive, labour intensive, and hazardous, with the majority of inspections being carried out manually by inspectors using rope access or boom lift. Currently tens of millio...

"**Project vision** The Multi-Platform Inspection, Maintenance & Repair in extreme environments (MIMRee) project will introduce a step-change in the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of offshore wind farms by removing humans from the loop during the inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) of offshore wind turbine blades. The aim is to significantly reduce...

"Offshore wind is a key energy source for the UK. It will play an increasingly significant role in future years, as part of an energy mix that is moving towards cleaner and more renewable sources. Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) have significant environmental challenges in terms of both the marine environment and the weather. This project, led by Perceptual...

Perceptual Robotics is working with the University of Bristol and industry partners to provide fully automated visual inspection of wind turbines using smart autonomous drone technology. One of the major concerns in investing in wind farm projects relates to maintaining turbine availability, which represents the risk of lower energy yields and lost produc...
