This is when AI models are deployed inside devices, instead of linking to them via the cloud, which is the case with generative AI models like ChatGPT.

The algorithm\u00a0 has \u201clearnt\u201d to spot issues like erosion or other issues similar to how a human can. Beam says that its AI models will continually improve and adapt as it continues to train them on new data.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beam recently put the underwater drone through its paces at Seagreen, the world\u2019s deepest fixed bottom offshore wind farm located off the coast of Scotland. In one day, the AUV successfully surveyed the entire foundation of a wind turbine fixed to the seabed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">58 metres under the surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UK has about<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 14.7GW of installed offshore wind capacity, which is producing 16% of the country\u2019s electricity. However, policymakers are targeting 50GW by 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those offshore wind turbines, battered by waves and corrosion, will require a lot of maintenance. According to Beam, using AI-driven AUVs could slash <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inspection times by up to half. And instead of needing people to supervise each underwater vehicle, autonomy frees up humans for more complex tasks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beam will be rolling out the new autonomous <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> across its fleet of survey vessels, remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs) and AUVs throughout 2025 and 2026, it said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
