Smart robots could withstand waves to cut green energy costs - Scientific Inquirer

Underwater robots that can predict waves in real-time could reduce the cost of producing offshore renewable energy, a study suggests. New technology that enables robots to work stably in turbulent seas could make it cheaper, faster and safer to maintain offshore wind farms and tidal turbines, researchers say. Until now, the unpredictable nature of waves – which make it difficult for machines to remain stable and perform precise movements – has l…
