This student will work under our lead test engineer to expand our testing capabilities. They will assess and improve our existing test functions and develop new test functions for existing robotic test systems. These systems involve motors, force sensors, encoders and -of course- electro adhesives. This student may also help bring new test systems online. Each new custom clutch design brings with it new performance requirements. And for each new requirement, ESTAT needs a method – usually a robotic test system – to verify that requirement is satisfied. A few examples of systems designed by previous co-op students include: (1) automated rotary test stands, capable of a range of speeds and torques, which evaluate performance characteristics like slipping torque, holding torque, and response times; (2) a high-speed stand, capable of rotating at speeds of up to ~5000 rpm; and (3) an automated tensile tester, capable of autonomous operation. This student will contribute to ESTAT’s success by helping us demonstrate to our customers that our products meet or exceed their expectations. This student will also support the Lightweight Electroadhesive ExoTendon system for fighter pilot neck protection.
