Energy Drone & Robotics Coalition

The Energy Drone & Robotics Coalition (EDRC) is a global community and industry forum focused on advancing the use of unmanned systems, robotics, data, and automation in energy and industrial operations. It brings together technology innovators, energy companies, asset owners, and end users to help launch, grow, and scale enterprise drone and robotics programs. The Coalition supports collaboration aimed at improving operational safety, efficiency, return on investment, and data analytics.

Its resources include industry news, reports, blogs, podcasts, webinars, and digital knowledge-sharing, alongside live, virtual, and hybrid events. These include the annual Energy Drone & Robotics Summit, smaller meetups, and activities connected with InnovateEnergy Week. The Summit showcases technologies and business applications for UAVs, robotics, and data, AI, and machine learning, with themes such as inspection, maintenance and repair, offshore robotics, cargo drones, security, and emergency response. The EDRC also offers opportunities for organizations to sponsor, exhibit, speak, and gain digital exposure and lead-generation opportunities. Subscribers join the Coalition’s community and receive updates on industry developments and events.
