Marine Robotics Innovation Centre - National Oceanography Centre

 

The marine robotics innovation centre officially opened November 23rd of 2015 by Jo Johnson, Minister of State for Universities and Science.

The opening brings together the National Oceanography Centre’s nearly 20 years of experience and its globally acclaimed  design and operations of marine autonomous systems.

Marine Autonomous Systems are a multibillion pound industry and are considered disruptive technologies that will provide significant growth to global economies. 

The marine robotics innovation centre is already home to UK innovate funded projects, among additional science, and commercial ventures that are furthering power capabilities, sensors, communications, and the creation of new autonomous platforms.

The 4 primary goals of the marine robotics innovation centre are:

  • To create a step change in marine autonomous systems.
  • To create an exchange of ideas from a diverse range of public and private sectors that when brought together will overcome similar challenges.
  • To generate collaborative projects that result from bringing together design, manufacturing, and end users of marine autonomous systems.
  • To be the epicentre on regulation and legislation, risk and reliability, communication and control.
