2023: BR-8
On February 10, 2023, it became known that Rope Robotics began testing its robots on marine turbines and plans to put the product into commercial operation by 2024. According to the company, one such robot pays off in full in just 6 months of operation.
According to the company, the patented robot BR-8, which has already repaired more than 150 blades of onshore wind turbines, is planning to integrate artificial intelligence in the future.
Damage from erosion during rain damages the aerodynamic performance of the blades and can even cause them to break. Rope Robotics offers fast to restore turbine output.
According to the company, as of February 2023, the diagnosis of damage is as follows: a 150-kilogram robot attached to cables rises about 100 meters from the ground to a damaged blade fixed vertically. The vacuum system securely secures the robot, while special motors provide movement along the surface of the blade. Using a built-in camera and laser scanner, the robot scans the surface and sends images to a remote operator who diagnoses damage and starts the repair process in real time.
The repair itself consists of three stages. First, the damaged area is ground by special equipment. Then the surface of the blade is cleaned with a brush and alcohol to remove accumulated dirt and fat. And then an advanced protective material is applied to the surface of the blade, restoring the optimal aerodynamic shape of the blade, leveling the material to specified standards.
The company strives to use the results of already carried out repair work performed around the world to introduce artificial intelligence into the repair process. It is assumed that over time, the robot itself will learn to diagnose the problem and will repair damaged blades without human help.
 | The robot has proven itself in the field with wind speeds up to 14 meters per second, relative humidity up to 80 percent and temperatures ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. company

For February 2023, repairs of offshore wind turbines are carried out in test mode. Rope Robotics plans to launch them sale in by the end of 2023[1]
