What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAs part of our Innovate UK-funded project, we are required to develop an offshore wind farm simulated environment where robotic developers can test and validate their systems. To ensure the simulation
accurately reflects real-world conditions, we will conduct underwater mapping inspections of key areas of interest, such as the DARE Centre, Grimsby Docks, and LDT. These inspections will allow us to build true-to scale underwater environments, ensuring that objects and obstacles encountered in simulation match those found in real-world operations.
