Potential Application of Robotics and State-of-the Art End Effectors at Letterkenny Army Depot,

Abstract

Letterkenny Army Depot has targeted areas for potential automation in the intermediate term using robotics. Areas of consideration include the interface of a high technology end effector with a currently planned robotics system. The area in mind is the agricultural blast cleaning operation where planning efforts are directed at replacing the agricultural blast nozzle with a prototype cavitation water jet cleaning and effector. This paper briefly describes the current method of operation in these areas and plans and limitations for robotics applications.
