DSDE: Emerging Technology

Accenture research​ suggests that only 12% of companies have advanced their AI maturity enough to achieve superior growth and business transformation. These companies are "AI Achievers" and, on average, attribute 30% of their total revenue to AI.

Researchers from the Offshore Robotics for Certification of Assets Hub teamed with EDF Renewables to use a modified remotely operated vehicle to conduct what they say is the first autonomous underwater inspection of wind farm foundations.

Technology (and a tight hiring market) are eliminating surveillance in commercial trucking.

The high-pressure reinforced thermoplastic composite internal pipe is embedded with fiber optics for monitoring and detection of leaks.

Cryptocurrency is not the only game in town when it comes to using natural gas at the wellhead to reduce flaring. There are self-driving cars, the coming “metaverse,” language processing, chat bots, and more, all of which require advanced computing and a lot of energy. The demand is driving an expansion of services for Crusoe Energy.

The certification course, run by SeaBot XR, focused on critical topics such as mission analysis, situational awareness, cybersecurity, and resource management.

Oil and gas facilities regularly store and dispense large quantities of flammable and combustible liquids. Given the potential for gas, vapor, or dust to collect in these areas, the electronic equipment installed must be designed to prevent ignition of these elements by electrical arcing or other thermal means.

MIT scientists hope to deploy a fleet of drones to get a better sense of how much carbon the ocean is absorbing and how much more it can take.

Founded in 2008, GA Drilling is developing plasma-based tools to achieve drilling speeds that are about three times faster than what conventional bit technology has historically achieved.

Verlume and consortium partners are working to advance the development of a robotic fish designed for efficient offshore inspection.
