Cellula’s capabilities can be divided into two distinct areas: Technical Expertise and Engineering Management.
Technical Expertise
Seafloor Drills, Components, Tools
Integrated seafloor geotechnical drilling systems.
Seafloor drilling system components & tools:
- tool-changing arms
- foot-clamp assemblies
- tool racks, carousels
- telescoping legs
- drillheads, drive motors, custom spindles
- drill masts
- wireline winches
- mud delivery and mixing systems
- downhole tools
Rock-Cutting Robots
Subsea Excavators and material recovery systems.
Telerobotic rock-cutting machines – pick-cutters, roller and disc cutters. Materials handling.
Performance analysis.
Hierarchical Control Systems
Autonomous Robotics – Hierarchical control, Task Decomposition, behaviour implementation, conflicting goals, fundamental supervision requirements, potential fields, impedance control, servo systems, user & developer interfaces.
TeleRobotic Systems
Robots which can be controlled from a distance.
Hydraulic Robots
Hydraulic power allows the development of powerful and compact robotic systems. Using high performance servovalves and advanced digital controllers, we can build hydraulic robots with high bandwidth force & position control capabilities.
Engineering Management
Research and development should serve market development. Primary tasks include estimating benefits, defining goals and desired outcomes, generating development and test plans, drafting solutions, developing and prototypes, and analyzing data, outcomes, and benefits.
We will assist you by creating and documenting a step-by-step project blueprint that includes: technical approach, work breakdown structure, statement of work, deliverables, schedule, cost estimates, intellectual property, method of payment.
Scope definition, project life cycles, development plans, scheduling and milestones, cost estimation & tracking, work breakdown structures, team building, customer liaison, technical management, test & verification plans and analyses, documentation, reporting, quality and configuration management.
Quality and Configuration Management
We will conform to your quality management systems, or we can propose solutions that are appropriate to the specific project.
We will help you identify, define, categorize, and manage project risks, e.g. through HAZID & HAZOP reviews and risk management plans.
We can help define and manage your intellectual property issues, e.g. freedom-to-practice and intellectual property protection.
