ICYMI: Top Energy Drone & Robots Stories from May
/The theme for robotics continues to be: automation. Enterprises are working toward onboarding robot fleets, training them in specific workflows, and building out autonomous functions.
Here are our top stories from May 2023 in the Energy Drone & Robotics community.
TotalEnergies Adopts Robot Fleet Management to Automate Operations
Rockwell Automation announced a partnership with energy giant TotalEnergies to implement a robot fleet management system, aiming to make use of IoT, gamification, and digital twin technologies to implement autonomous operations for its offshore platforms.
Both companies point to the importance of robotic and autonomous operations for their enterprises, as well as for wind offshore projects in general, in enabling unmanned operations for long periods, reducing employee exposure to hazardous situations, increasing safety, and attracting young talent.

Coast Guard Lays Out Plan to Expand Unmanned Systems Ops
The Coast Guard—long seen as lagging behind the other armed services in the use of unmanned systems—has released a robotics roadmap that called for their increased use in a variety of missions.
The Coast Guard has a plethora of missions where robotic systems and the sensors they carry can be of great use, including: search and rescue, stopping illegal fishing, drug and migrant interdiction, ice operations, and port and waterway security.
All signs point to continued automation as robots and drones help enterprises continue to carry out their missions.
