Agreement Value:

$64,415.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 1, 2022 - Jun 30, 2023

Description:

AERIUM’s RoBird® ornithopter is a high-tech example of biomimicry which has been established as an important tool in the field of Wildlife Management at airports, mining facilities, and other sites where wild birds are susceptible to injury and death simply by being in the wrong place. The current state of RoBird® production is such that many processes are completed by hand in a time consuming and expensive process. The goal of this project is to acquire both expertise and design services that will allow AERIUM to scale and automate production processes, growing RoBird® manufacturing from approximately 20 units per year to more than 60 units per year by the end of the project date, and to hundreds of units per year in 2024.
