Problem Statement Deploying micro-robots by hand is dependant on the user’s throwing ability for distance and accuracy. This requires the user to get close to the target destination which may be unsafe. Challenge : Design a hand-held launcher that can accurately deliver ground-based micro-robots 360’ or more from a safe position… Assumptions: The proposed delivery system is a vision for the Next-Gen Recon robot to accommodate launcher requirements
4
DART: Robot Launcher Overview Pneumatic launcher delivers a missile with a micro-robot onboard. At target area, robot deploys via remote control 360+ feet (1) Missile Launcher (2)Missile with Robot (3)Robot unfurls upon landing
5
Enabling Benefits Better method for delivery of surveillance payloads by land, water, or aerial drop Enabling wider use cases: Delivery into high rise buildings for 1 st responders Delivery of sensing devices where distance is critical, i.e., chemical, biological, radioactive. Delivery of ordnance payloads Enabling new business models and revenue sources: More use cases means more robot sales Practice Darts as consumables Replacement Darts Launcher devices for different environments Potential for ordnance payloads
6
Performance Low noise pneumatic launching system: xx decibels Low noise in open-area landing Increase robot delivery distance and accuracy with increased survivability Delivery distance up to 1000’ @30° or 600’ @70° Free-fall aerial drops from up to 600’ Neutral buoyancy for one-pound payload Waterproof protection for robot Accuracy (Phase 1 prototypes) 300’ / 2’Ø 500’ / 4’Ø 800’ / 6’Ø
