Hazmat Safety Reconnaissance Unit (H.R.U.) Group 14 Daniel Pico 2932224 Samuel Caillouette 3001488 Christian Palomo 3506193
2
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
3
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
4
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
5
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
6
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
7
Non-Forced Entry Focus To open Door Knobs and Door Handle Other Considerations were made
8
Forced Entry Extrication Tool Used for all types extrications where High Power is required Ideal because of design.
9
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
10
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
11
Sensors Sensors are vital Chemical and thermal readings Informs user Using principles of static forces The sensory bed and fixtures
12
Controller Arduino Open platform Wi-fi Long Range Availability of components Flight controls Ergonomic Programmable buttons Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog
13
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
14
Proposed Design
15
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
16
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 1008.1.1 IBC INTERPRETATION NO. 05- 05, 1-2. Department of Energy (DOE) Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Applicable Standards 1926.65 – this section is the code of standards which will serve as limits and goals in our design
17
GL Components Universally accepted input device Metric System (SI Units) Engineering, Hazmat, Fire Protection and Architectural standards Universal language manual Material selection
18
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
