Regulatory frameworks also need to evolve to accommodate autonomous monitoring solutions. As these systems become more prevalent, standardized protocols for data sharing, cybersecurity, and operational integration with offshore industries will be essential.

Looking ahead, the next generation of marine robotics will likely incorporate swarming capabilities, allowing multiple small robots to collaborate in monitor- ing large-scale offshore sites. Machine learning-driven analytics will enable predictive maintenance strategies, fur- ther enhancing the economic viability of autonomous ocean monitoring.
