roboTics and Artificial intelligence Living labs improving Operations in PV Scenarios

As the demand for renewable energy escalates, the photovoltaic (PV) sector faces critical challenges. Labour-intensive and hazardous tasks, along with rising operational costs and resource wastage, slow the industry’s growth. Additionally, human workforce limitations impact the efficiency and the monitoring capabilities of PV plants, necessitating a transformative solution. In this context, the EU-funded TALOS project will develop state-of-the-art robotics solutions for various PV energy scenarios, including land-based, floating, and agriPV. Through its autonomous robotic systems, TALOS seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save water resources, lower operation and maintenance costs, and enhance PV plant performance. Furthermore, it will facilitate human-robot and robot-robot collaboration, making PV energy safer and more efficient.
