Maintenance drones and robots to enhance renewable energy systems in the Atlantic Area

Closed

Aerospace and robotic technologies together with composites and additive manufacturing will be interweaved to produce full innovative solutions for a more efficient energy production. The use of support robots on solar panels and windmill engines will boost these clean energies in the area. DURABLE will accelerate the deployment of renewable energies in the Atlantic Area through the validation and demonstration of previous developed aerospace technologies applied in robotics for operation and maintenance activities in wind and solar energy systems. The supporting robots will be adapted to perform tasks of inspection/surveillance and reparation reducing the high costs of these activities favouring regional renewable energy production conditions. The project will create an innovative institutional and technical cooperation network that will reduce the operation & maintenance costs in the renewable energy production, merging key technological and institutional actors from these critical sectors.
