Company mission
To accelerate the green energy transition with safe and efficient wind turbine inspection, maintenance and repair using robotics.

Our take
Funded and sponsored by InnovateUK, Catapult Offshore Renewable energy, and other sustainability-focused investors, BladeBUG is an advanced robot designed to inspect and repair the blades of wind turbines.
As the renewable energy sector enters a massive period of growth, challenges have arisen concerning the upkeep and life extension of the growing number of wind turbines. BladeBUG engineers can control the six-legged robot from out of the line of site, meaning that they are kept safe, whilst also keeping maintenance costs at a minimum.
Built by a former wind turbine engineer to address the challenges he foresaw, BladeBUG may be a small company but has great potential to grow and reach more international clients. Furthermore, the versatile and flexible robot, which has passed the R&D phase, has the potential to assist in other sustainable energy industries too. But BladeBUG should take its project one step at a time, just as its sturdy product does.
