Over the past two weeks in country, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Robot Team has been working to complete a computer model, manufacture parts, and assemble a new robot design. With the ultimate goal to bring an inexpensive, mass producible EOD robot to low-income countries, this project has been years in the making through a strong partnership between Villanova University and Golden West Humanitarian Foundation.<\/p>\n

This group is comprised of Nick Ferrante (Villanova University, Junior), Nathan Yasuda (Seattle University, Super Senior), and Julia Spillane (Villanova University, Junior). Nate and John Wright (Lead Engineer at Golden West) have recently completed the EOD robot design after meticulously analyzing every aspect of the previous robot. This new design now features only one linear actuator, improved electronics housing, and a new motor setup. 3D printing parts allows for enhanced customization and ease of reproducibility.\u00a0 Julia has been making drawings based on the new design while Nick has been manufacturing the parts. Despite technological, material, and time constraints, the team continues to make headway as the robot takes shape. The group anticipates a complete build by the end of next week.<\/p>\n
