The ORCA Hub is an ambitious initiative that brings together internationally leading experts from five UK universities with over 30 industry partners. Led by the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics (Heriot-Watt University and University of Edinburgh), in collaboration with Imperial College London and the Universities of Oxford and Liverpool, this multi-disciplinary consortium brings its unique expertise in: Subsea, Ground and Aerial robotics; as well as human-machine interaction, innovative sensors for Non Destructive Evaluation and low-cost sensor networks; and asset management and certification. The Hub will provide game-changing, remote solutions using robotics and AI that are readily integratable with existing and future assets and sensors, and that can operate and interact safely in autonomous or semi-autonomous modes in complex and cluttered environments. The project will develop robotics solutions which enable accurate mapping of, navigation around and interaction with offshore ass
