Orca Hub

Orca Hub is a revolutionizing Asset Integrity Management in the offshore energy sector. The ORCA Hub is a multimillion-pound program aimed at addressing the offshore energy industry's vision for a completely autonomous offshore energy field. The Hub's primary goal is to use robotic systems and Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize Asset Integrity Management for the offshore energy sector through the provision of game-changing, remote solutions which are readily integrated with existing and future assets and sensors, and that can operate and interact safely in autonomous or semi-autonomous modes in complex and cluttered environments. The key research objective is to develop technologies that enable reliable, robust, and certifiable robot-assisted asset inspection, autonomous decision making, and intervention capabilities for the offshore domain, with a specific focus on challenges inherent to this extreme and unpredictable environment across the aerial, topside, and marine domain.
