MRISAR's Simulated Bomb Retrieval Robot Exhibit
Challenge yourself to move a suspicious item that may have a bomb hidden inside to the location the controls specify within a specified time by using a telepresence mobile robot. The robot is controlled via a telepresence monitor and joysticks (Radio controlled by the museum visitor).
How it works; Press the start button and a digital countdown timer starts up and beeps. Use the controls and monitor to manipulate the mobile robot to pick up and move the suspicious item to an area to be secured before the timer reaches zero. If the item is not in the secured area when the timer stops, the exhibit makes the sound of an explosion. If the item is within the secured area when the timer stops the exhibit congratulates you. The controls reset after the timed interval or can be reset within the use cycle if a user wishes to restart the activity before the end of the timed cycle. Upon timeout the robot arm and tread system revert back to standby mode and the arm automatically opens the hand and retracts. This exhibit conforms to STEM education and comes with graphics in a booklet that discusses how robotics can help in dangerous work situations and emergency security applications. In these applications a human is protected from what can be life threatening situations by distancing themselves from the location of the work. The exhibit is designed to be visually stunning, educational and usable by virtually any age of museum visitor. This exhibit is view able from all sides and is ideal for mid floor locations. The robots arm is protected by limit controls and spring loaded for shock. The limit controls use simple logic to avoid over travel. The fingers operate by pressing push switches. A joystick is used to operate the wrist, shoulder and elbow ranges of motion. The exhibit is configured as a device to illustrate remote handling robotics. Different types of remote handling robots are used by industry, aerospace and commercial establishments to extend human capabilities in hazardous situation. The mobile unit operates by a rechargeable battery pack which would sustain the operation of the device for no less than a full open day between recharging. The exhibit is designed to be visually stunning, educational and usable by virtually any age of museum visitor. This exhibit is view able from all sides and is ideal for mid floor locations. The robots arm is protected by limit controls and spring loaded for shock. The limit controls use simple logic to avoid over travel, as opposed to expensive and hard to repair computer guided systems. The fingers operate by pressing push switches. A joystick is used to operate the wrist, shoulder and elbow ranges of motion. The exhibit is configured as a demonstration to illustrate remote handling robotics. Different types of remote handling robots are used by industry, aerospace and commercial establishments to extend human capabilities in hazardous situations. Comes with a complete exhibit including quality built electronic-electromechanical robot, enclosure, support electronics, visual support materials, maintenance information and schedule, activities and control panel. Approximate exhibit size is 10 ft. diameter x 42" high.
