Osentoski presented DRIVE’s progress in the robotic diagnostics arena showcasing their work with United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). DRIVE’s Diagnostic Information Management Environment (DIME) technology resides on the ARK platform DRIVE delivered to USSOCOM late last year. The ARK is an amphibious remote controlled robot DRIVE developed for use in riverine operations. The vehicle is capable of speeds of 22 mph on land and up to 5mph in the water. A video of the vehicle can be found on DRIVE’s website : www.drivedevelopments.com/ark.html The presentation focused on day one diagnostics and condition based maintenance within a robotic platform.
The ARK was tested during a Capabilities Based Experiment (CBE) in Florida earlier this year with USSOCOM and other agencies where the vehicle successfully navigated swamp conditions and a variety of other difficult terrain conditions. The goal of the exercise was to obtain feedback from potential end users to incorporate into future designs. Feedback from users focused on the ease of operation associated with the vehicle and the intuitive nature of the remote control design.
