Designed in collaboration with Leonardo over the course of 8 months.
Awarded multiple design and innovation awards from Manufacturing Technology Association (MTA), Leonardo, EDT.
Won National Technology, Design and Innovation Award.
Accredited gold standard from Industrial Cadets, British Science Association
Designed from a problem scenario given by Leonardo, of an automated solution to protecting unattended equipment left in the battlefield while being in line with the Geneva conventions for automated warfare.
Using LIDAR and Computer Vision to detect approaching threats to the turret and deploy a range of detergents such as flashing lights and siren, chemical spray, timed detonation. All remotely operated from a user friendly Wii remote, making it easy to train and deploy soldiers with the skill set to operate the device.
Logistical manufacturing for defence was also considered, designing an automated log and tracker for 3D printers when manufacturing parts required, automating the required paperwork for defence products, reducing production time by 50% compared to standard manufacturing and reporting.
