Ocean Infinity Secures Underwater Robots for US's First Floating Offshore Wind Farm

Equinor, the Norwegian energy company, has contracted with marine robotics company Ocean Infinity to conduct a site investigation survey using autonomous underwater robots (AUVs) at the site of the US's first floating offshore wind farm in Morro Bay, California. The AUVs will collect data to help Equinor develop and refine the wind farm design and inform the site assessment and construction plans. The project has the potential to generate enough energy to power around 750,000 US households.
