Prof Sara Bernadini @RoyalHolloway Computer Science AI expert explains how 6 legged bladebug robots keep the cost of green energy down by maintaining offshore wind farms https://t.co/eyIkHvGcyN #39Ways #netzero

[Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) @RGS_IBG]

Despite the low carbon energy they produce, offshore wind turbines are expensive to maintain and repair. Listen to @tomheapmedia with @flimsin who meet the team behind @bladebuglimited (@_Sara_Bern_ & Chris Cieslak) - a robot that can not only inspect but repair turbine blades 👇
