Taiwan robotics contract is boost for Scots subsea exports
High Performance Robotics (HPR), an Aberdeen-based firm, has secured its first commercial contract in Taiwan with client IOG for subsea robotic systems following successful offshore trials in March; the deal validates the company's micro-ROV technology in high-current conditions previously tested at FloWave in Edinburgh and supports cable installation work at offshore wind sites like Dogger Bank.
