Emerging TechnologiesRobotics Applications in Energy and Infrastructure Projects
Robotics is transforming inspection, maintenance and construction across power, water and transport infrastructure, reducing risk to field crews and cutting downtime. This course introduces the categories of industrial and mobile robots used in energy and infrastructure settings, from drone based line inspection to autonomous crawlers for pipeline assessment. Delegates leave with a practical framework for identifying where robotics delivers the strongest return on African infrastructure programmes.
Course objectives
- Classify robotic systems used in energy generation, transmission and infrastructure maintenance
- Evaluate drone, crawler and fixed robotic solutions for inspection and repair tasks
- Assess safety, regulatory and workforce implications of robotic deployment
