Focus Areas
With the aim of developing technologies that enable reliable, robust and
certifiable robot-assisted asset inspection, autonomous decision making
and intervention capabilities for the offshore domain, ORCA Hub's research focusses on four key scientific challenges.
Andrew Tyrer - Head of Enabling Technologies, Innovate UK:
The ORCA Hub is the link between academia and industry, looking at robotics particularly in offshore [renewable] energy. It’s really about taking the research base, which has got some excellent science and technology, and translating that into the applied space. In other words, out to the end users.
