Artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial neural networks (ANN) were conceptualized in the 1940s as automated systems inspired by the neural networks that constitute a biological brain. The system is based on “artificial neurons” that interconnect similarly to a biological system.
Despite having spent years in the Ocean Energy sector, we at GRi Simulations owe our soft hands and dry socks to having been in the ancillary world of ROV simulation, and this experience is what informs our perspective on this topic.
Despite the rather bleak outlook published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC) in April, until late September, the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane season had proven, by historical standards at least, relatively benign.
Food security, resilient supply chains, energy transition, and the climate crisis—these are a few of the challenges we hear about every day in the news, at work and at home.
VideoRay is the world’s leading manufacturer of underwater, portable, inspection-class underwater robotic systems also known as ROVs.

The number of Ocean Enterprise companies operating in Canada continues to grow at a pace outperforming our global counterparts. At the heart of this expanding Canadian sector on the shores of the Halifax Harbour is COVE, home to a community of over 60 ocean tech companies that are creating the world’s next practical, commercial, and revolutionary ocean tech advances.
The Blue Economy is poised to continue and accelerate its growth in 2023 and beyond. This will be driven by growth in sustainable production and harvesting of food, expanded investment in offshore wind and related renewable energy approaches, predicted high intensity and frequency of storms, the return of favorable economics for offshore oil/gas investment, and the continued need for preparedness for a changing risk environment related to marine conflicts.
The offshore wind industry in the United States took a major step forward in May 2021 with the official Federal approval for the construction and development of the 800 MW Vineyard Wind 1 wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts.
In November, The Metals Company (TMC) announced the successful retrieval of 3,000 tonnes of potato-size polymetallic nodules from seafloor depths of over 4,000 meters in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ).
