The RTI robotic material handling system is composed of three nodes: 1. theoverhead rail system, 2. robotic manipulator, and 3. electrical controls. Theprototype design solution development will be driven by the RTI design philosophyof integrating standard technologies with specialty robotic designs to yield auser friendly, simple, rugged, and effective system. Technology developed through this project can be applied to land-based materialhandling applications such as manufacturing, construction and warehousing, aswell as the commercial shipping industry. The proposed system has the potential to reduce manning requirements and trhe safety risks associated therein.
