How robots are shaping the future of wind power

Robotics is still a fringe technology in wind energy, but it has vast potential to transform the industry from the factory floor to operational turbine towers and blades. In manufacturing, machines offer the prospect of precision and efficiency in the exacting task of blade finishing. Meanwhile, the rapid evolution of drone technology is increasingly being applied to streamline operations and maintenance work at both onshore and offshore wind farms. In this episode of the Wind Power Podcast, we spoke with two leading experts on the use of robots in wind power to see what the future holds on this exciting new frontier for renewable energy. This episode was produced by Inga Marsden.  Hosted on Acast.
