A robotics ‘dream team’ of KAUST graduates

KAUST · Aug 2

In 2012, Saudi Aramco formed an Intelligent Systems team composed primarily of KAUST graduates to prototype robots for oil and gas operations. The team developed SAIR (Saudi Aramco Inspection Robot) in 18 months, a robot capable of visual and ultrasonic inspection of steel assets and gas sensing. SAIR is wirelessly operated, compact, and detects corrosion in hard-to-reach places. Why it matters: This highlights the critical role of KAUST in supplying talent for advanced technology development in Saudi Arabia, particularly in robotics for the energy sector.
