Robotics/unmanned systems
The USV Challenger will be remotely controlled from shore and will be equipped with multiple autonomous features.
Terra Drone will support Aramco's operations and Saudi Arabia's technological and economic progress.
A robotic arm, camera system, and virtual reality helped EniProgetti and University of Naples researchers overcome the major challenges of direct-contact nondestructive testing using a drone.

Advances in drone technology and construction have allowed more industrial applications to take off. One application for which drones may be particularly useful is health, safety, and environmental compliance. Similarly, drones may help facilities comply with site security regulations. -
To provide condition monitoring and combat fouling, the robot clings and moves along the hull walls. It is controlled via a 4G connection to clean and inspect the walls in line with individual vessel schedules developed through a proprietary algorithm and big data.

After 2 years of testing, Shell is going all in on using high-flying technology to catch methane leaks to reduce its overall emissions to less than 1%.
-
The Norwegian company completed what it describes as the world’s first logistics operation with a drone to an offshore installation.
-
Equinor said drones could reinforce safety, boost production efficiency and contribute to lower CO2 emissions from Norwegian oil and gas
-
The 3-year contracts were awarded to Solstad, OceanPact, and Fugro.
-
The fully remote inspection was conducted with an ROV to increase worker safety and security and reduce environmental exposure on an offshore platform.
-
Development in software, technology, and a global 4G network combine to make ROV operations possible between offshore vessels and remote locations.
-
The partnership will deliver autonomous robots for safe work in adverse land, sea, and downhole environments.
-
With their gee-whiz—albeit artificial—intelligence, robots may be the industry’s answer to jobs deemed dangerous, dirty, distant, or dull.
