  Episode 50: Mangroves, Drones, and Data

  Sep 24, 202543 minS0

  <p >In a few week’s time the 30th UN Climate Change Conference will take place in Belém, Brazil. While the world is making progress on cutting the carbon emissions that cause climate change, there is much work still to be done.<br><br>Even if the world were to meet the goals put in place ten years ago in the Paris Agreement, we would continue to face the impacts of climate change. We will also need to focus on adaptation.</p> <p >One adaptation that could both build resilience and absorb carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere is the...

  Episode 49: Adding Autonomy to ROVs

  Aug 27, 202537 minS0

  <p>Artificial Intelligence is developing at a dizzying pace. One day soon, its proponents promise, it will revolutionise the way we work.</p> <p>The growth of AI could lead to the birth of ‘cobots’, robots able to collaborate safely with humans in shared spaces. But the development of machine autonomy and remote operations has much deeper roots.</p> <p>The goal of robotics has been described as replacing humans in roles that are dirty, dangerous, or dull. Offshore work can often meet all of these criteria. Bringing surveyors to offshore sites on a fossil fuelled vessel is, in carbon term...

  Episode 48: Remote Operations in Commercial Space

  Jul 30, 202549 minS0

  <p >Some time ago, in an office quite far away, Tim Crain, vice president of R&D at Intuitive Machines, joined Jon Baston-Pitt for an episode of Planet Beyond, alongside Fugro’s Dawn McIntosh and Sam Forbes.</p> <p >In that episode, first aired in November 2022, our guests discussed Intuitive Machine’s plans for the first commercial soft landing on the moon. The mission, which took place in February 2024 didn’t quite go to plan, but did successfully achieve a soft landing with all equipment functional.</p> <p >The work at Fugro’s Space Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Control Complex...

  Episode 47: Innovation in Offshore Wind Biodiversity

  Jun 25, 202528 minS0

  <p >Over three episodes, we’ve been learning about ways to maintain, and even improve, biodiversity around offshore wind farms. We’ve heard how the industry is helping to shape biodiversity policy. We’ve talked to researchers who are developing ways to monitor the interactions of birds and turbines. And in this final episode, we’re going to discover innovative ways to monitor biodiversity across marine ecosystems more efficiently, and less invasively.</p> <p >Umberto Binetti is a marine biodiversity expert, working for developer RWE. He explains that current monitoring requirements focus on construction, when the most disruption is expected. Some win...

  Episode 46: Best Practice for Offshore Wind Farm Biodiversity

  May 29, 202534 minS0

  <p >Offshore wind farms promise to provide much of the clean power needed for the energy transition. But in their construction and operation, they interact with wildlife above and below the water. In this episode, the second of three on biodiversity and offshore wind, we learn how scientists are developing best practices for protecting birds and enhancing biodiversity underwater.</p> <p >Jesper Kyed Larsen is a bioscience expert working with Vattenfall, and focused on how we can measure interactions between birds and wind turbines. His work explores how vision systems and machine learning can be used to track birds as...
