Greenroom Robotics is proud to share that our Chief Technology Officer, Harry Hubbert, recently spoke at the Royal Institution of Naval Architects’ Warship 2024: Future Surface Combatants Conference. This international event, held in Adelaide, South Australia, brought together global leaders in naval architecture and marine technology to discuss the future of naval surface ships.
The conference was a remarkable platform for industry stakeholders to exchange technical developments and innovative ideas in vessel design, construction, support, shipbuilding automation, digital engineering, marine autonomy, and disruptive technologies. Representing Greenroom Robotics, Harry actively engaged in these discussions, sharing his knowledge and perspectives.
Navigating Challenges with Autonomy
Harry's presentation, titled “Navigating Challenges: Design, Technology, and Operational Lessons from Large Optionally Crewed Vessels,” showcased Greenroom Robotics' expertise in addressing the complexities and advancements in designing and operating large optionally crewed vessels. In collaboration with Austal Australia's PBAT Project Engineer, Jacob Bailey, Harry shared insights and lessons learned from the recent Patrol Boat Autonomy Trial.
Collaborative Innovation
The conference also featured a keynote speech by Glenn Callow, Chief Technology Officer of Austal Australia, who spoke on marine autonomy and the transformative technologies shaping future naval surface ships. This event showcased the collaborative efforts and shared vision between Greenroom Robotics and Austal, driving forward the development of cutting-edge marine technologies.
Harry shared his thoughts following the event:
"It was an honour to present and discuss advancements in maritime autonomy with the amazing group of thought leaders at this conference. Using the collaborative PBAT project between Austal and Greenroom Robotics as a case study, I was excited to highlight the advancements and capabilities Greenroom can provide to vessels of all shapes and sizes."
Global Participation and Networking
The Warship 2024 Conference was not just a venue for presentations but also a hub for dynamic networking sessions. Over 230 participants from leading international companies engaged in enriching discussions on ship design, composite repairs, warship design, energy, and propulsion systems. This diverse group of thought leaders fostered collaborations and paved the way for future innovations.
Looking Ahead
Greenroom Robotics' participation in this event highlights our ongoing commitment to advancing naval technologies and supporting the global defence community. As we continue to push the boundaries of marine autonomy and disruptive technologies, we look forward to further collaborations and opportunities to showcase our expertise on international platforms.
