Research abstract
The company will perform late-stage laboratory research and development work and prototype engineering in the areas of reflectance imaging underneath Navy maritime coatings, laser processing of coated corroded alloys and coating application. Advanced processing (lasers) such as for applications including welding and associated characterization data for Navy use cases are to be generated in collaboration with a university subcontractor. Software engineering using computer vision and collision avoidance for the robotic arm and end effector is a key element to the Phase II program. Final deliverable is an integrated, modular full process corrosion end effector technology (hardware, software) solution at TRL 6 (month 12) and TRL 7 (month 18).
