Genderless Connector - Defined Verification and Validation

Connect-R项目旨在开发一种工业规模的自建模块化机器人解决方案，以提供对恶劣和危险环境中工作地点的访问。这种可自我配置的机器人脚手架系统的目标是在非结构化环境中提供结构，并为其他较小的机器人系统(具有先进的末端执行器)提供轻松进入所需区域执行基本任务的机会。Connect-R系统的初始部署侧重于核退役用例，但该系统也可以在其他领域提供能力，如近海石油和天然气、深层采矿和空间探索。Connect-R系统使人们能够进入以前无法进入的区域，它在各种部门释放了巨大的潜力，它通过将人们从极端和危险的环境中移除而降低了对人类生命的风险。我们的目标是提供高质量、可靠的工程产品，使我们的客户能够在危险环境中持续工作，使他们的老化、危险和危险装置退役。我们Connect-R可自我重新配置的模块化机器人结构的关键推动因素是无性别机械连接(GMC)。我们相信，GMC为模块之间的机械对接和拆卸提供了通用解决方案；它还为液压动力和数据提供了坚固而有效的连接。该项目延期的主要目标是通过进一步的有针对性的测试、验证和验证以及演示，使GMC技术的准备成熟，不仅是对我们目前核市场的利益相关者，也是对石油和天然气行业的代表。

The Connect-R project aims to develop an industrial-scale self-building modular robotic solution to provide access to worksites in hostile and hazardous environments. The objective of this self-configurable robotic scaffolding system is to provide structure in unstructured environments, and to afford other smaller robotic systems (with advanced end effectors), easy access to the required zone to carry out essential tasks.The initial deployment of the Connect-R system focuses on a nuclear decommissioning use case, but the system can also deliver capability in other sectors, such as offshore oil and gas, deep mining, and space exploration. The Connect-R system enables access to areas that were previously inaccessible, it unlocks huge potential in a variety of sectors, and it reduces the risk to human life by removing people from extreme and dangerous environments.It is our goal to provide quality, reliable, engineering products that consistently work in hazardous environments to allow our clients to decommission their aging, dangerous and hazardous installations.A key enabler to our Connect-R self-reconfigurable modular robotic structure is the Genderless Mechanical Connection (GMC). We believe that the GMC provides a generic solution for the mechanical docking and undocking between modules; it also gives a robust and effective connection for hydraulic power and data. The main objectives of this project extension are to mature the readiness of the GMC technology through further targeted Testing, Validation & Verification, and Demonstration, not only to our current stakeholders from the Nuclear market but also to representatives of the Oil & Gas sector.
