The Machine Lab has been very busy lately
Not only do we continued to manufacture our EOD and Tactical robot systems for the military and law enforcement, but we have also focused our energies on several custom projects. The Machine Lab has completed several diverse projects in the areas of toy invention, semi-autonomous mobile robot platforms, robots that have filmed wildlife in the arctic, robots that clear debris from rooftops, custom multi-axis robot manipulator arms, and even robots that have appeared in television shows. We have also built a brand new industrial facility to merge our production and prototyping shops.
The Machine Lab just finished competing in the newly reinvented television show BATTLEBOTS with a wicked new mechanical creation called RAZORBACK. The TML crew displayed their level of design and fabrication expertize with this awesome machine.
Another project that we completed was a custom tracked platform for a research company in the UK. The machine could be controlled autonomously by an on board laptop via USB while giving an operator to have uninterrupted manual control of the robot.
We outfitted the mobile platform with custom dual pan/tilt mechanisms for multiple sensors and cameras. The platform also has a modular prototyping deck for electronics and the laptop.
Our engineers wrote the code and designed the electronics for the dual control system and sealed the electrical components in waterproof housings. The robot was equipped with enough battery capacity to run for 4 hours continuously.
