Key Takeaways
-
- NREL is inviting robots to assist in making wind turbine blades
-
- The robotic technology could lead to more efficient blade designs
-
- This collaboration aims to reduce costs and increase the use of renewable energy
What It Says
In a bid to advance renewable energy, NREL is seeking help from robots in creating more efficient wind turbine blades. This collaboration could potentially lead to cost reductions while promoting the use of sustainable energy sources.
Our Take
Who needs humans when robots can now help make wind turbine blades? Seriously though, it sounds like they are tough to make, and involve a blending of human/machine resources, which could actually bring work back to the US by making the humans more efficient. NREL maybe goes into the
solutionists category.
