Hazmat Safety Reconnaissance Unit (H.R.U.) Group 14 Daniel Pico Samuel Caillouette Christian Palomo

OverviewSensorsController Design Constraints Proposed Design Testing Survey of Standards GL Components Conclusion Problem Statement Benefits of H.R.U. Literature Survey How is ours different Forced / non-forced Stair climb Cameras

Problem Statement Increased use of chemicals in manufacturing Greater risk of accidents Hazmat Scene investigation Hazmat certified Firefighters (Hazmat Response Team) Lives are placed at risk Not guaranteed safety Unknown territory Exposure various toxic elements Time Constraint

The Benefits of H.R.U. Minimize Preparation time Facilitate data gathering at a safe distance from the contaminated area Minimize overall risk to first responders and general public

Literature Survey What is Hazmat Response Team? Hazmat Unit Was established around 1980 Procedure for controlling a hazardous situation Sets up a perimeter Preparation can take up to 30min Are only in the scene for a duration of an hour

How is Ours Different Hazbot III Uses a 100ft Tether Features a manipulator arm and on board battery source Contained o2 sensors and a camera H.R.U. Non-tethered Sensory Bed Forced / non-forced Entry Ability to climb stairs Hazbot 3

Non-Forced Entry Focus To open Door Knobs and Door Handle Other Considerations were made

Forced Entry Extrication Tool Used for all types extrications where High Power is required Ideal because of design.

Stair Climbing There are various methods used for traversing upstairs Pros to having Tread system Allows for more grip on the stairs Can move across various surfaces Does not require short term maintenance Pros to having tire and wheel system Travel faster Dissipate less energy by minimizing contact between the tire and terrain Does not require short term maintenance

Cameras Streaming Capabilities Statics and Kinematics to design different fixtures. Use Optimization equations to minimize material. Sample cameras shown which are resistant to most fluids and corrosive resistant eg. Arlo Smart HomeThor Lab 1500-M-CL-TEGoPro

Sensors Sensors are vital Chemical and thermal readings Informs user Using principles of static forces The sensory bed and fixtures

Controller Arduino Open platform Wi-fi Long Range Availability of components Flight controls Ergonomic Programmable buttons Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog

Design Constraints System must operate in areas involving combustible gases Smooth profile and correct sealing so as decontamination will be quick All components must be solid state devices Brushed dc motors will be replaced with brushless motors, all electrical compartment areas are pressurized

Proposed Design

Testing Does the robot climb stairs Use fire department to test forced / non- forced entry Testing and simulation of manipulator arm Visual relay from cameras to control panel Through different mediums Visual quality

Survey of Related Standards American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International Organization of Standards (ISO) CODE, I. B. (2003). INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE. CHAPTER 10 MEANS OF DEGREES SECTION IBC INTERPRETATION NO , 1-2. Department of Energy (DOE) Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Applicable Standards – this section is the code of standards which will serve as limits and goals in our design

GL Components Universally accepted input device Metric System (SI Units) Engineering, Hazmat, Fire Protection and Architectural standards Universal language manual Material selection

Conclusion Designing a Robot to assist Hazmat Team Investigate for longer time Wireless Communication More Versatility throughout Environment (I.e. Stair Climbing) Allow Hazmat personnel more mobility Sensory bed remote control remote control Forced / non-forced entry
