UGV
Our project regards by development and innovation of very low dose 3D CT diagnostic device of novel construction and entering product to the world market. The target of this project is innovation of already developed own construction 3D CT scanner with use of monolithic semiisolated (SI) GaAs detectors and its clinical performance. This sensitive 3D CT scanner is very suitable for 3D mammography and will ensure important prediction of prognosis for women with the disease of breast cancer. Early and accurate detection has become worldwide an important point in cancer care. Our novel 3D CT scanner generates lower dose radiation than currently used 3D breast scanners. This allows more frequent preventive examinations without the risk of increased radiation doses. 3D mammography devices commercially used at present are in fact improved 2D scanners with additional software. Screening is usually uncomfortable because of applied pressure on breasts. Our solution uses novel SI GaAs detectors, unique rotating scanning head in combination with special TSS (Tube Scanning Slot) and addition of a vacuum generator, what together ensures great results, while the screening process is very comfortable and safe to patient.
DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF SPECIAL AUTONOMOUS AND ROBOTIC VEHICLES WITH ELECTRIC DRIVING OF A NEW GENERATION
Over the last years, we have been working on the research and development of our own UGV for electric drive. The result of this activity is an experimental 6x6 vehicle at a scale of 1: 8, on which the company verified the assumptions and applicable technologies.
The latest project on which the company is intensively working is the development of a robotic UGV 6x6 electric drive.
The leading research workers of the company in these fields are prof. Ing. Viktor Ferencey, PhD., who also acts as a university lecturer at STU in Bratislava and doc. Ing. Ľubomír Uherík, PhD., who currently works at the Faculty of Special Technology at the University of Trenčín Alexander Dubček.
Main features of the planned UGV will be following:
-
The total estimated dimensions of the vehicle will be in compliance with road traffic rules, ie. weight up to 8 tons, length 6 m, width 2.5 m and height 1.5 m (no antenna)
-
electric UGV drive for noise and emission minimization
-
there are several alternatives to the energy carrier, such as hydrogen / batteries / fossil fuels (only combined with a micro-turbine to generate electricity)
-
Competitive action radius
-
Modular UGV design for easier production of UGV for various purposes
-
modules designed for various UGV applications (eg. search vehicle, UGV for police components, UGV for border guarding, tactical UGV, CBRNE vehicle, supply vehicle)
-
full remote control by short, medium and long distance operators
-
implemented advanced UGV real-time decision elements
-
ballistic protection and design designed to minimize the impact of the IED
PLANNED PROPERTIES UGV
-
excellent driving performance in all terrain thanks to the chassis construction. Chassis design and crossing similar to Crusher (USA)
-
vehicle body optimized against IED
-
thanks to optimized dimensions (medium size vehicle up to 6m and weight up to 8t),
-
it will also be suitable for both road and urban development
-
driving in permanent STEALTH mode - thanks to the use of electric motors and
-
hydrogen as a fuel, the movement of the vehicle will be extremely quiet
-
drive variability - it can be hydrogen (electro motors + fuel cell, superchargers, batteries) or classic fossil fuels (electric motors + micro turbine, superchargers, batteries)
-
The vehicle will be usable as a powerful power generator if necessary
-
a fully manageable vehicle by the operations center, including its observation
-
High degree of autonomy for UGV connection losses
-
The availability of operating modules by individual systems is currently open = possible
-
Low cost of operation, UGV energy efficiency
