Robotics Verticals in Glasgow
Naval Shipbuilding
BAE Systems' Clyde shipyards build the UK's most advanced warships. Robotic welding, automated block assembly, and pipe fabrication are critical. SVRC rents UKCA-compliant industrial platforms.
Energy & Nuclear Inspection
Scotland's oil, gas, wind, and nuclear infrastructure needs inspection robots. Doosan Babcock and utilities deploy robots for hazardous environment work. SVRC provides ruggedized inspection platforms.
Marine & Underwater Systems
Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt develop AUVs and ROVs for offshore energy, marine science, and naval applications. SVRC supports marine robotics research.
Space & Satellite Systems
Glasgow builds more satellites than any city outside the US. CubeSat and small satellite manufacturing drives demand for precision assembly and testing robotics.
