General Description

TRMR technology is a robotic vision module attached to an inverted sleeve system (which is primarily used for maintenance of sewage piping) that is deployed into subterranean and confined spaces not safe for a human. With the ability to outfit the system with a variety of sensors and cameras, TRMR solves many of the issues faced in subterranean scenarios

Technical Description

The system weighs 45 lbs for a man-portable version, with deployment reaching up to 325 feet at 33 feet per minute. Additionally, it is able to overcome obstacles up to ~5 feet tall.

Intended Purpose

TRMR is designed  to offer a unique solution to the complex problem of subterranean operations and exploring structurally unsound enviroments by offering a reliable and cost effective way to safely search tunnels, culverts, and other confined spaces TRMR can help provide an additional layer of safety for the user by creating safe separation between the operators and hazardous areas of operation.

Enhance Mission Effectiveness

Generally subterranean missions are considered quite complex, dangerous, costly, and time consuming. TRMR offers a single user a fast, simple, and cost-effective way to search hazardous areas and provide visual/sensor feedback to the operator from a safe distance.

Limits of Environment

The TRMR system performs best in small passages due to its design: since the robotic forepart is pushed into the confined space via pressure being put into the inverse sleeve, confined environments will guide the robotic head while the reverse sleeve pushes the optical portion further into the hazardous environment.
