About the event
Title: Autonomous Solutions Responding to the Oceanographic and Ecological Monitoring Needs of Offshore Wind Development
Description: Recent successes using autonomous platforms in the development of offshore wind projects have demonstrated the ability for these systems to augment and completely replace vessel-based surveys. Through this proposed track we will assemble a variety of perspectives to discuss: 1) Examples from the global community that present different applications of autonomous systems and offshore wind; 2) Challenges and opportunities for acceptance of these methods into existing regulatory requirements; 3) Timelines for incorporation of these solutions into for offshore wind development
Moderator: Andy Ziegwied (Open Ocean Robotics)
Panelists: The panel will represent government, research, and private sector perspectives. The panel discussion with the audience will be moderated by the organizers and focus on the needs and opportunities that could be addressed by autonomous platforms in the context of offshore wind development. The panel members have all confirmed…
