SunDanzers High efficiency Refrigeration Unit (HERU) technology is a variable speed, two stage refrigeration platform, initially developed under Army SBIR topic A04-210, and continuing with Army Rapid Innovation Funding. HERU currently uses the military standard hydrofluorocarbon R-134a, vehicle type refrigerant. R-134a leaking into the atmosphere has 1400 times the greenhouse gas effect compared ...

Apptronik Systems in cooperation with the University of Texass Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL), Carnegie Mellon Universitys Robotics Institute and Italys National Research Institute (CNR), will collaborate to develop a new type of exoskeleton that is founded upon Apptroniks Visco-Elastic Liquid Cooled Actuator (VLCA). The fundamental goal of this program is the development of a powered exoskel ...

This is an Addendum to previously submitted proposal that includes the addition of a powered upper body portion of an exoskeleton. In this addendum we propose the additional requirements of researching, fabricating and integrating a powered upper body to the previously outlined lower body. These two systems together will comprise the entire exoskeleton proposed by the contractor. Through this ...

Apptronik Systems Inc., in cooperation with the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL) and Huston-Tillotson University Robotics Lab (a historically black college and university HBCU), endeavor to advance the movement capabilities and modularity of the exoskeleton being developed under contract #H92222-17-C-0050. The primary goal of this program is to optimize the range of movement ...

The proposed research and commercialization efforts are aimed to solve some of the funda- mental performance and security challenges in decentralized ledger based messaging system and significantly move forward the industry and frontiers of messaging platform by providing solutions that achieve diverse functionalities, scalability, and high level security. The system uses a hybrid trust model and ...

The project aims to develop a comprehensive management framework for data pipelines in science labs, with special focus on data-intensive neuroscience. The starting point will be DataJoint, a data management framework and software library developed as a...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly evolving technology that has the potential to transform manufacturing because of its low investment costs, rapid design alterations, and ease of sharing files. However, digital thread of AM and reduction of cost f...

Recent advances in deep sub-threshold analog and digital electronics have created a class of intelligent electronics capable of power consumption levels as low as 10 nanowatts while in the sensors asleep-yet-aware phase of Near Zero Power RF and Senso...

There is a critical need for DoD to develop power sources that will increase the mission lifetime for unattended sensors and sensor radio networks. In order to take advantage of recent advances in extremely low power subthreshold circuits to greatly exte...

Software and hardware developments for smartphone technology are rapid and numerous due to the standardization of the computing and electrical interfaces. We seek to bring this cycle of innovation to robotics by developing standard hardware and software...
