The Rise of Offshore Autonomy: Intelligent Machines, Remote Ops, and Robotics

Tuesday, 5 May
Room 602
Technical Session
A new era of offshore operations is emerging, powered by intelligent machines and autonomous systems that are reshaping how work is done in extreme environments. This session describes the largest autonomous drilling project in the world, autonomous mud plants, and reimagination of offshore lifting operations with live sea-state forecasting and AI models. Attend to learn how remote Uncrewed Surface Vessels, multimodal AI inspection robots, robotic crawlers, and automated structural health monitoring can be employed to extend the life of offshore assets. Together, these case studies highlight the rise of offshore autonomy—where robotic pioneers, remote operations, and intelligent machines are building a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable future.
