1、Designation: E 2592 07Standard Practice forEvaluating Cache Packaged Weight and Volume of Robotsfor Urban Search and Rescue1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2592; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.

Summary of Practice4.1 The number and types of cases required for packing therobot and all associated components are identified, along withthe wei

17、d. This will help the logistics managerdetermine whether additional, special tools will need to bepacked along with the robot. It is preferable to avoid usingspecialized tools that are not typically available in toolboxesthat are part of the existing cache. If a specialized tool ismissing, there may

18、 be no recourse in resolving the problemwith the robot in the field, and the robot may be renderedinoperable.4.4 The weights of the robot and OCU are measured. Theresponders already have to carry an array of tools andequipment from the base of operation to the operational worksite. Part of their new

19、 logistical planning when robots aredeployed will be the additional burden of carrying the robotand any associated equipment, such as the OCU. It is importantthat the weight of the robot and the OCU be factored into theresponse planning process on site.5. Significance and Use5.1 Introduction of robo

20、ts to the responders cache for use inurban search and rescue missions may have an impact on thelogistical planning for the response teams. Additional volumeand weight shall be stored and transported to the response site.Additional preparation time shall be allotted to ready the robotfor deployment.

21、The tools that are taken to the field may needto be augmented to service the robots. Once the robot is readyfor deployment, it shall be transported from the base ofoperations to the mission zone. Responders may have to carrythe robot and its controller or may have to provide some othertransportation

22、 mechanism if it is too heavy.5.2 This practice is designed to appraise the impact in termsof logistical considerations for a response organization.6. Data Collection Form6.1 A sample data collection form is shown in Fig. 1. Thisform is referenced throughout Sections 7-11.Logistics7. Volume of Cache

23、 Packaging7.1 The robot system shall be compatible with the respond-ers cache packaging and transportation system.7.2 Three standard packing cases are used by the FederalEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) Urban Search andRescue (USAR) task forces. Self-contained robot systems mayalso be loaded onto

24、a pallet.7.3 ApparatusPacking cases or pallets.7.3.1 Packing CasesThese packing cases are required fortransport by FEMA task forces. Their equivalent dimensionsare given in Table 1. Other organizations may not be con-strained to use these specific brands or sizes. However, theprocess described in th

25、is practice can still be applied so as toprovide consistent volumetric measures for robot systems.7.3.1.1 Hardigg Cases4Packed cases should weigh nomore than 68 kg (150 lb). For two people to carry, 90 kg (200lb) is the absolute maximum. The empty cases should eachweigh no more than 13.6 kg (30 lb).

26、 Two models are used byFEMA USAR task forces. Their model numbers and outerdimensions are shown in Table 1.7.3.1.2 Pelican Cases5These cases are molded plasticcontainers that may have an airtight and watertight gasket.Anymodel Pelican that will fit into a Hardigg case in 7.3.1.1 isallowed. Packed Pe

27、lican cases shall, therefore, fit into, and notexceed, the weight limit of a Hardigg case as noted in Table 1.7.3.1.3 Orbis BulkPak Cases6These cases are plasticcollapsible bulk containers. One model (#4048) is approved foruse by FEMA USAR task forces. Its dimensions (or for anequivalent) are 101.6

28、by 121.9 cm (40 by 48 in.). Maximumheight is 114.3 cm (45 in.). Lids, doors, and other options arepermissible. The weight limit is up to the rating of thecontainer.7.3.2 PalletsPallets are flat structures used to transportitems via forklifts or other mobile devices. If a pallet is used totransport t

29、he robot system, its dimensions should conform toISO standards like ISO 6780:2003. These ISO dimensions arelisted in Table 2.7.4 Determine whether the robot system can fit within thepacking cases available to the FEMA task forces. It is notrequired that all of the equipment associated with the robot

30、 fitwithin a single packing case. Other organizations may not havethe same restrictions as FEMA task forces; however, thevolume and weight required to transport the robot system shallbe determined.7.4.1 Enumerate the number of packing cases (by type)required for transport of the entire robot system.

31、8. Weight of Cache Packaging8.1 Responders shall be able to move and store all equip-ment using existing methods and tools.8.2 ApparatusA scale shall be available to weigh eachpackage.8.3 Place the robotic system within the required packingcase(s) (see Section 7). For each case that is required fort

32、ransporting the robotic system, determine the weight inkilograms. Enter the value in the data collection form (Fig. 1).8.4 For Hardigg cases, the packed cases should weigh nomore than 68 kg (150 lb). For two people to carry, 90 kg (200lb) is the absolute maximum. The empty cases should eachweigh no

33、more than 13.6 kg (30 lb).8.5 The weight of the entire robotic system is to becomputed by summing the weights of the individual cases forthe robotic system.8.6 The weight(s) should be also reported in inch-poundunits (pounds) in addition to SI units.8.7 Determine weights to within 0.25 kg (0.55 lb).

Setup Time9

35、.1 Measure the amount of time (on average) that it takesfor the robot system to be set up and ready to operate at thedeployment site.9.2 ApparatusA timing device shall be available. A watchor timer may be used.9.3 Protocol for Measuring Setup Time:9.3.1 The robot system shall be inside its packing c

36、rate(s) oron pallets at the beginning.9.3.2 Note the start time.9.3.3 Remove the robot and all of its necessary componentsfrom the packing crates.9.3.4 Assemble the robot and all of its necessary compo-nents as required to attain readiness for deployment.9.3.5 Conduct any necessary initialization, p

37、owering on,testing, or other preliminary procedures required to ensure astate of readiness for deployment.9.3.6 Note the end time.At this time, the robot shall be fullyfunctional.9.3.7 Note the elapsed time (in minutes).9.3.8 It is expected that there will be variability in the lengthof time require

38、d depending on circumstances in the field andthe experience level of the person preparing the robot. Thismeasure should reflect the time required by a user withmoderate experience. If desired, the testing organization maychoose to average the times of multiple users performing thesetup.9.4 Measureme

39、nt of time to a resolution of 1 min isadequate.10. Tools Requirement10.1 Responders are required to know what types of toolsare required for servicing a robot in the field.10.2 The following three choices of tools are possible:10.2.1 No special tools are needed. In this case, the robotparts snap tog

40、ether or can otherwise be disassembled andassembled without any external tools.10.2.2 Tools that typically reside in a cache toolbox areneeded. It is assumed that responder caches already includebasic tools such as screwdrivers, allen wrenches, socketwrenches, and circuit testers. Whether the robot

41、system re-quires SI or inch-pound tools shall be noted. This practice doesnot require either SI or inch-pound tools in recognition of thereality that both types will exist in the marketplace for theforeseeable future.10.2.3 Specialized tools that may not reside in a cachetoolbox are needed. If this

42、is the case, each special tool shall bedescribed. Note that all specialized tools that are needed shallbe included in the cache packaging considerations for volume,packaging, and weight.11. Downrange Weight11.1 Capture the weight of the robot, the OCU, and anycomponents that are necessary for operat

43、ion when the robot isdeployed. Additional components may include, for example,sensors or mission packages that are mounted on the robot.11.2 ApparatusA scale shall be available to weigh theentire robotic system.11.3 The robot is placed on the scale and its weight is noted.SI units (kilograms) are pr

44、eferred, but inch-pound units(pounds) may also be noted. The OCU is placed on the scaleand its weight is noted. SI units (kilograms) are preferred, butinch-pound units (pounds) may also be noted.11.4 Determine weights to within 0.25 kg (0.55 lb).12. Keywords12.1 cache packaging volume; cache packagi
