Action Group Surveillance Robotics
Robots in this category spend all of their time on-site, regularly executing scheduled actions, such as surveillance, or executing actions in response to normal operational situations and changes (operational tasks, such as operating valves). The robotic activities will usually be semi-autonomous (or thought to evolve into a form of autonomy).
Program Manager: Borja Martinez / Tjibbe Bouma
Engage, collaborate, and share your insights to enrich the collective knowledge and expertise within this action group.
Action Group Task-based Robotics
This refers to robots that generally are brought to, or stored on, the site for a certain incidental action, such as fabric maintenance, focussed inspection or emergency response. Usually (for now), these robots will be manually operated, with at most limited portions of the activity automated.
Program Manager: Niels Westendorp

Action Group Integration
This Action Group will focus on the energy transition (harvesting alternative energy sources), integration (fleet management, workflow management, data management et cetera), and Artificial Intelligence (or data analysis in general).
Program Manager: Arjen den Hamer
Engage, collaborate, and share your insights to enrich the collective knowledge and expertise within this action group.
Task Force Power and Energy Transition
The Task Force Power & Energy Transition (TFPET) will focus on robotics for the sector Power Generation in general and specifically looking into robotics for Energy Transition related production facilities, like on- and offshore wind, hydrogen, hydro, solar and carbon capture & storage.

SRLA Coordinator: Mauricio Galassi (Petrobras)
“SRLA will increase integration between Latin American and global robotics initiatives for Inspection & Maintenance, promoting business opportunities and equipment availability. Regional editions are an important tool for technology dissemination.”
SRAP Coordinator: Luke Johnson (Woodside) | Digvijay Desai (Shell)
“Bringing industry, end-users, and vendors together to share and develop real use cases progresses innovation and creates a sustainable robotics market to allow all collaborators to thrive.”
SREU Coordinator: Ekkehard Zwicker (Waygate Technologies)
“The European Chapter played an active role in setting up and influencing the European Robotics Roadmap which will help to guide the research activities as well as future research grants into a direction we regard as key for our industry. A main achievement was to get Inspection & Maintenance as one of the four key pillars of robotic activities in European robotic research.”
SRNA Coordinator: Eric Sjerve (IRISNDT)
“SRNA has significantly accelerated the use of commercially available systems by connecting directly with end users at their sites of operation, while also facilitating their continued development supported by asset owner needs.”
