Robotic Drilling Technology

Development Project
AC works as a software developer and panel designer in development of an innovative autonomous robotic drilling rig for unmanned drilling operations. The new system (Robotic Drilling™) sets new standards with increased safety and cost-effective planning and drilling, and can be implemented on existing as well as new drilling structures both offshore and on land.
The Drill Floor System contains of the four robots/machines: Drill-Floor Robot, Robotic Pipe Handler, Electric Roughneck and Multi-Size Elevator.
Mechanically advanced and intelligently controlled Robot technology is developed based on proven Actin™ Robotic software. Actin will be responsible for simulation, control & coordinating the motion of multiple Robots and Drilling Machinery.
A highly sophisticated and advanced 3D Man Machine Interface is developed for Simulation, Visualization and Automated Control from a central control room.
