Underwater robots now predict and stabilize against waves, cutting costs for offshore renewable energy maintenance.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have created a technology that allows underwater robots to predict and stabilize against waves, reducing costs for maintaining offshore renewable energy systems. The robots use devices tethered to the seafloor to measure incoming waves and adjust their position in real-time. This advancement could make offshore wind and tidal farm maintenance cheaper and safer, as it reduces the need for human intervention in dangerous conditions.
