BladeBUG Limited is a UK based deep tech startup developing a robotic platform that removes the necessity to send a rope access technician on to the blade to perform detailed contact  inspections and repairs. BladeBUG Limited has developed a unique six-legged walking robot that has been designed from the ground up to perform remote detailed inspections and early stage repairs on offshore wind turbine blades. BladeBUG’s ability to collect intelligent data for critical assets in real time without putting people in danger or requiring skilled experts reduces the costs and risks associated with wind turbine blade maintenance. The robot helps the challenges faced by the wind industry with the shortage of skilled workers, essential to enabling the ambitious growth plans of the offshore wind sector.
