SCRAPER
Presentation
SCRAPER is a standardized electronic device that can be mounted on almost any construction machines in order to turn it into a remote-controlled machine. The operator wears virtual reality goggles and can pilot the machine from a safe distance, in a remote control station adapted to reproduce the cabin's working environment. This ensures immediate results through a quick adaptation to the new system. The stereoscopic camera in the cabin of the machine provides a high level of precision during manoeuvers and guarantees total immersion.
The modification on the hydraulic system of the machine is quick and and the cost of a such an investment is small compared to the price of a new machine. After the modification, the system is activated in a few minutes. Both new and second-hand machine are suitable for this modification. It is important to note that the machine will remain completely usable and fully functional forconventional use from the cabin.
The SCRAPER system was first designed to accelerate the reconstruction of destroyed cities by providing a safe way for operators to clear the rubble of hidden explosive traps or unexploded ordnances. However, the potential of SCRAPER extends beyond this by also offering a way to dispose safely of radioactive or chemical materials, in case of spillages for example, or when operating near a collapsing building. All these situations require remote-control of the machine in order to guarantee total safety.
The SCRAPER system includes:
- 1x Virtual reality goggles;
- 1x Operator's head tracking sensor;
- 1x Stereoscopic camera placed in the cabin;
- 1x Pair of professional controllers to be mounted in the remote-control station;
- 1x Pilot pressure and/or high pressure control block;
- 1x Embedded Electronic System;
- 1x Embedded Radio Control System.
