A few words about us.
The project is titled:
"Development of an innovative remote-controlled mini excavator powered by single-phase current up to 240V".
Project value: 3,284,171.61 PLN
EU funding for the project: PLN 2,339,118
The main objective of the project is to research and develop a prototype of an innovative remote-controlled tracked mini excavator equipped with an all-electric drive powered by a single-phase power supply of up to 240V, along with a set of dedicated attachments. In addition, the project includes batteries that allow the mini excavator to operate without additional power for a minimum of 1 hour. The development of the solution will allow one person, in the form of an operator, to control the machine from a distance in particularly difficult conditions, dangerous places with large angles of inclination and with limited visibility of the working area of the working system. The developed electric-powered mini excavator will be able to find a wide range of applications, including indoor work, garden work, construction work or road repairs.
The main objectives of the project will be achieved through the following tasks:
- Developing assumptions and product concepts based on a deep understanding of user problems and needs using Design Thinking methodology
- Design of the mini excavator with dedicated attachments and any systems applicable to the mini excavator and attachments
- Conduct a series of studies and tests to optimize the design from a functional, practical and safety perspective
- Analysis of the materials used in terms of environmental protection and replacement of the materials used with more environmentally friendly ones
- Construction of a prototype mini excavator, attachments and plastic body
- Conduct a detailed analysis of the mini excavator in terms of patentability and in the context of mass production
