Robotic Painting Optimization

This project embodies a development and demonstration protocol of the economic, technical and maintenance issues that, if successively executed through the phases, can substantially reduce the concerns that currently limit the use of robotically applied camouflage painting in DoD depots and in job-lot limited commercial operations.  Phase 1 focuses on a thorough review of the Barstow physical facility and adaptation of the Statement of Work currently conceived to address physical facility needs, of the variables imposed by the actual demonstration vehicle available for use in the project, and the economic and maintainability concerns.  Phase 2A will demonstrate the actual hardware, software and the human/software/hardware interface system capability for a full-scale system suitable for installation at Barstow.  The demonstration will be at CTA in Madison, AL.  Participants include CTA Automation Technology, Inc. (CTA); Vision Solutions International Inc. (VSI); -U.S. Marines (Barstow); U.S. Army (Red River), Penn State ARL, and National Center for Manufacturing Sciences.
