ABOUT ARV

PTTEP Robot Club

Back in 2013, a small group of PTTEP staff members began to take an interest in the significant roles that AI and robotics were expected to play in their business operations as well as in their daily lives. As a result, the PTTEP Robot Club was formally established with two primary objectives in mind.

The first objective was to assist PTTEP's petroleum exploration and production activities by enhancing safety, efficiency, and reducing operating expenses. The second objective was to broaden their expertise in the field of robotics and address the growing demand for knowledge in this age of digital transformation. 

AI & Robotics Ventures

Over the years, the PTTEP Robot Club has demonstrated its worth by continuously developing innovative technologies and solutions. Consequently, in September 2018, the Al & Robotics Ventures (ARV) Company Limited was established. This illustrious company is committed to advancing the field of robotics and AI by focusing on research and development and promoting innovation within PTTEP’s operations. By leveraging its expertise and understanding of robotics, ARV seeks to assist PTTEP in overcoming the various challenges posed by the rapidly changing technological landscape.
