The robotic system allows the industry to replace the need for humans to hang on the ropes at high altitudes to perform blade maintenance. The robot operates much faster, thus reducing the downtime, costs, and carbon footprint during the services. Additionally, more efficient methods of services allow for preventive maintenance of the blades, thus prolonging the lifetime of the wind turbines. All of this allows the turbines to work more efficiently and for longer periods of time, making wind energy more accessible for society.
