Opportunity overview

As part of our Innovate UK-funded project, we are required to develop an offshore wind farm simulated environment where robotic developers can test and validate their systems. To ensure the simulation accurately reflects real-world conditions, we will conduct underwater mapping inspections of key areas of interest, such as the DARE Centre, Grimsby Docks, and LDT. These inspections will allow us to build true-toscale underwater environments, ensuring that objects and obstacles encountered in simulation match those found in real-world operations. To achieve this, we require an advanced sensor payload capable of high-precision underwater inspections. The Frontier Robotics sensor system is a novel, state-of-the-art solution that enables both 3D mapping of underwater environments and millimeter-accurate asset inspections of infrastructure such as turbine foundations and cables. This system is not yet commercially available, and we will be the first company to own it as an asset, po To view this notice, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=933739884
