N00173-15-C-2026 ‘Novel Robotic Tools for Piping Inspection and Repair’, Ph. 3
Naval Research Laboratory- Washington DC
Electromechanica, Inc. was tasked with the continued development of a robot tool for in-situ pipe inspection of fleet piping. This current project involves the further optimization of the robot including supporting Naval personnel in the test and evaluation of the prototype equipment in simulated and actual operational environments.
N00014-14-C-0072 ‘Novel Robotic Tools for Piping Inspection and Repair’, Ph. 2
Following a successful Phase 1 effort, Electromechanica Inc. (EMI) was tasked with the continued development of a robot tool for in-situ pipe inspection of fleet piping. The robot design was improved to enhance its ability to negotiate very confined, highly complex piping pathways. The robot’s motion elements including grippers and linear actuator were refined and the prototype underwent test and evaluation in the mock piping system. 2nd generation electronic controls were designed, modeled and fabricated. A Linux based embedded control was successfully implemented. An Ethernet based network was integrated including highly customized network switches. This new network topology resulted in more robust operation and higher video throughput.
N00014-13-P-1224 ‘Novel Robotic Tools for Piping Inspection and Repair’ Ph. 1
Electromechanica Inc. (EMI) was tasked with researching and developing a proof of concept robot tool for in-situ pipe inspection of fleet piping. EMI designed and fabricated a proof of concept robot tool based on a pneumatically actuated peristaltic motion. This motion is accomplished by the use of inflatable pneumatic grippers, as well as a novel flexible pneumatic cylinder capable of actuation in a variety of articulated positions. Various representative piping systems were used to successfully test locomotion and guidance of the system. The final prototype robot demonstrated the ability to negotiate complex confined piping systems.
JFBI04217 – Evaluation of Shocktube Initiated Cutters
Electromechanica, Inc. was awarded this U.S. Government contract with the Department of Justice on September 31, 2004. Electromechanica, Inc. performed engineering test and evaluation on shocktube initiated wire cutters for this contract.
NIST-08-SBIR-R Phase I– An elevated-temperature nanobalance based on piezoelectric shear mode resonators.
Electromechanica, Inc. collaborated with Masscal, Inc. on the design and demonstration of a high temperature (250°C) quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) system. A prototype of this system was successfully delivered to NIST in Boulder, CO for ongoing evaluation.
