Balancing business with humanitarian & environmental ideals! All profits, after regular expenses & taxes, are given for charities & charitable purposes. All the energy we use for fabrication is derived from alternative, renewable, energy sources.
Project Description Our Guidelines Our Research Who We Are
References Media Educational Programs
We design, fabricate and sell Science, Art and Robotic Exhibits to advance our Humanitarian and Environmental, Research & Development projects. We specialize in unique, inexpensive, innovative, interactive, high quality, easy to maintain, Science, Robotic and Robot Exhibits, with a particular emphasis on Cybernetics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics and Teleoperated devices. We design and fabricate exhibits that are featured in world class science centers, museums, universities and NASA funded exhibitions. Our exhibits incorporate a theatrical flare to excite the interest of visitors of all ages and most handicaps. We have a graphic arts and illustration division that provides services for educational, professional, marketing, entertainment, advertising and web presentation. We make our exhibit offerings as appealing and competitively priced as possible to raise funds for our continuing humanitarian research and development projects, as we design and create low cost humanitarian and environmental devices, such as Adaptive Technology prototypes for the disabled. Additionally we also assist a nonprofit organization which we founded to help provide humanitarian and environmental services. We also maintain a Science Consultant Curriculum Enhancement Program for public schools, Touring Science and Art & Robotics Programs. Our primary goal is Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development, which is based on our belief that each person should do everything within their capability to honor the spirit of humanity and the environment. To find low cost, low impact solutions to environmental and humanitarian problems; to produce educational, thought provoking and entertaining exhibits and programs, with all material being acceptable for children to view, or participate in; to strive to accommodate disabled individuals; to utilize recycled & salvaged materials whenever possible; to promote Humanitarian & Environmental Ideals. Our research and development was an awarded winner in the 2004 NASA - Emhart Technologies, "Create the Future" contest. NASA Tech Briefs magazine and Emhart Technologies, a global leader in the design and creation of assembly technologies, sponsored the event. Our submission, an Advanced Bandage that, (1) serves as a substitute for stitches, (2) eliminates skin damage from I.V. adhesive and regular bandages, and (3) provides emergency closure of wounds, was in the area of medical products. It was judged by a panel of the worlds finest engineers and industrialists for scientific functionality, product necessity and practical marketability. We are recognized by the UN as a substantial contributor in the area of robotics and featured in the United Nations "World Robotics 2004" publication, by the Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the IFR; International Federation of Robotics. Our research and development in cybernetics and robotics was chosen to be published by and presented before the IEEE RO-MAN 2003; International Workshop on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, October 31 - November 2, 2003, Millbrae, CA, USA, http://ro-man.org. Sponsored by: IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, Robotics Society of Japan, Hosei University, Hosei University Research Institute, California, New Technology Foundation. Technical Sponsors: IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, Virtual Reality Society of Japan. With Additional Support from Faculty and Staff of: Stanford University, VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Immersion Corporation, Intuitive Surgical Inc. Our research and development in cybernetics and robotics was chosen to be demonstrated before IROS 2002, IEEE/RSJ; International Conference of Intelligent Robots & Systems, September 30 - October 4, 2002, Lausanne, Switzerland, http://IROS02.epfl.ch. We were also invited to participate as a panelist for discussions in the field of robotics. Our research & development was chosen to be published by and demonstrated before Cambridge University's international conference on assistive technology, " CWUAAT", (Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology) in March of 2002. The event is an unique opportunity to present technologies that assist disabled individuals. Our Research & Development was ranked in the top ten of our chosen field for the International - "2000 Discover Awards for Technological Innovation". As a result we earned an Award and Invitation to demonstrate our prototypes at the "Technology Expo" at EPCOT, in Disney World, in June of 2000. This event was hosted by Discover and includes some of the world's most innovative technologies. Our project was 1 of the 5 Rehabilitation Robotic Prototypes to be chosen World Wide to be demonstrated before the "International Conference On Rehabilitation Robotics" "(ICORR)" at Stanford University, California in July 1999. View prototype. A Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Semi-Finalist: Our research & development project "Feature Controlled All Terrain Robotic Wheelchair" was ranked as a semi-finalist for this award in April of 1999. MRISAR is a family owned and operated business. It's creators/main staff members have also founded a nonprofit organization, which functions as a humanitarian and environmental service to the community and the world. Other family members participate as assistant staff and occasional helpers as needed. Our venture has won awards and International accreditation. Our research has been published by Universities & Scientific Journals. We have also been featured numerous times in newspaper articles and television segments.
