Summary
[edit]DescriptionAutumn Siegel with small 5 finger robot arm.jpg |
English: Autumn Marie Siegel, of the MRISAR R&D team, began her apprenticeship in Robotics as a preschooler. She is seen here testing a hand crafted 5 finger robotic arm prototype. for public use in museum environments which help educate millions of people worldwide. This 5 Finger Robot Arm has nine ranges of motion and pressure sensitive and end of travel limits, that can adapt to any arrangement of objects stacked in its path. It is made of light weight 6061 Aluminum. This arm is totally open framed for educational viewing, which relates to STEM. It is especially designed with safety features and force limits. Some of the scientific disciplines used in the design of the prototype are Mechatronics, Electromechanical, Mechanical, Electronics and Autonomics. Many of the robotics technologies that the team invents are used in both their museum exhibits and their humanitarian prototypes (like Rehabilitation Robotics for victims of paralysis) that have been presented before and/or published by leading organizations.
This device was designed by MRISAR’s R&D team and fabricated at MRISAR, a family owned business in North Dakota. Everything from MRISAR is designed and prototyped by two generations of 4 family members, the youngest two Autumn and Aurora Siegel, along with their parents John Adrian Siegel and Victoria Lee Croasdell-Siegel. The team goals are humanitarian and educational uses for science, art and technology. The devices created by them are unique in the fact that they are handcrafted, not mass produced. This allows the team to create across a wide range of technologies, applications and elements of science and art. The public use robotic exhibits they create for museums and science centers around the world relate to STEM and STEAM. This two generation team has even invented robotic systems for NASA. Science in combination with art relate to a better understanding of engineering and technology. Through creating handcrafted elements of engineering based on bioinspired elements and abstract reasoning such devices explore how nature develops engineered creative aspects that humanity can use for real world applications in science and industry. Such devices also serve as valuable elements of education. From a technical vantage this specific device combines electromechanical and mechanical engineered elements with travel limits and Boolean logic to achieve a goal of creating systems that can instantly adapt to their surroundings and also compensate for human user errors. Other key elements are observations of design standards such are compensation for mechanical shock load, derating electrical, derating mechanical, derating electronic and mechanical elements, analysis of materials, weight distribution and comparisons to human arm operating degrees of freedom. More images of the creation of this and other MRISAR robotic devices can be seen at mrisar.org.The work of MRISAR’s R&D team has drawn world interest for the public-use educational robotic exhibit prototypes that they create and also for their humanitarian R&D that aims to improve the quality of life. Their work has been presented before and/or published and awarded by: the United Nations, NASA-Emhart, Stanford, Cambridge, ICORR Robotics conferences, ROMAN Robotics conferences, IEEE, Discover Awards, International Federation of Robotics, etc. The “International Federation of Robotics” annual publication on Service Robotics regularly lists MRISAR Institute of Science, Art & Robotics in at least ten categories of robotics. The publication covers major contributors in the field of robotics and within that coverage focuses on the diversity of robotics, worldwide uses for robotics, economic factors and projections. Most are industrial providers, but the publication also includes NASA and other renowned research elements that reach well beyond industrial applications. In the 2011 publication MRISAR was featured in an entire chapter. The publication picks one per year for special focus in a chapter and covers a multitude of ventures in the rest of the document. |
