Balancing Business with Humanitarian & Environmental Ideals.  


We designed and built the two 3-Finger Robot Arms (which appeared in several scenes with the scientist of the future), for the 2007 sci-fi family movie "The Last Mimzy", a Newline Cinema, Avery Pix, and Hanna Rachael Production, film; And the two 3-Finger Robot Arms for the traveling show "Robots; the Interactive Exhibition", that is based on the movie "Robots" by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studio.

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" publications for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006, 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.

MRISAR is a family owned and operated business.  It's creators have also founded a nonprofit organization, which functions as a humanitarian and environmental service to the community and the world.

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.

Medical Electronics;  

Apnea & Emergency Monitors

Prosthesis;  We are in the process of developing a series of designs for artificial limbs. Until the designs are completed please refer to our exhibit robotic arms for crude examples of robot arms that roughly follow human design. Our prosthesis versions will strictly conform to a human appearance.

Hearing Aide;  A unique design for a hearing device that is able "in theory" to bypass a number of degenerative hearing conditions. Working models are to be complete by the end of the year 2002.

Phased Retina Imaging Scanner; Design for a device that bypasses partial retina damage. The validity of the design has not yet been confirmed through testing.  A working prototype will be built by the middle of the year 2003.

Touch Transducers; (See robotic wheelchair design)
  

 


 

Alternative Energy;

Low Power Phased Distribution For Electronic Systems; More a design ideal than a specific invention, this technique affords the design of devices which in effect systematically power down and power up upon current need. Often this is done in a cyclic manor.

Wind & Wave Generators;  A series of designs that have yet to be tested. Each is aimed at obtaining more energy for less material equipment investment to make alternative energy more desirable as a solution.

Solar Car & Rechargeable Bicycle;  Simple experimental devices: The bicycle is a converted ten speed with two high torque PM Field motors, gel cell battery, three electric speeds and a maximum of 21 Miles per hour speed. Photographs will be added shortly.

Aquatic Propulsion Devices;  A series of experiments in the creation of alternative propulsion methods that eliminate the need for propellers, conventional blades, turbines and other invasive, potentially damaging methods which can harm creatures who swim to close to a craft.  Working models of the devices are to be tested by the middle of the year 2002.

 


 

Guidance Systems;

Non Precessionary Gyroscope;  A design that affords an unique level of stability beyond regular units.

Opto-Electronic Compass With Sodar Navigation;  Part of the STRAC robotic wheelchair project.

Guide Robots; Robots that act as guides. For use in museums and other public places, to assist people, provide information, and/or act as a host.
  


 

Surveillance & Security Systems;

Children's Telemetry  Detector;   A child safety monitoring system. At this point the device is only block diagrammed, more information will be added once additional work has been completed.

Surveillance & Security Robots in Commercial Applications; Robots to assist human guards, or too keep vigil in extremely hazardest areas.

Bomb Retrieving Robots; Robots that can retrieve and isolate or disarm bombs.

Fire Fighting Robots; Robots that can fight Fires, go into high temperature and toxic environments that humans can not enter.

Surveillance & Security Robots in Domestic Applications; Robots that monitor security and safety in home environments.

 



Aerospace;

Ion Force Field;  Device for reducing proton flux radiation in outer space environments.
 



Digital Electronics;

Variable Speed Cyclic Multi-Channel Pattern Buffer;  Circuit design used in the ICARAS monitor to afford the unit the capability of automatically combining words and phrases for it's voice synthesis alarm attribute.

 



General Robotics;
 
Animatronics, Autonomics & Mechatronics;  Please see our robotic exhibits section for examples of such applications.

Humanoid Robots; Robots designed to relate to and close the gap between human and robotic interaction and communication.
