Description
Triton Systems will apply our novel material design, unmanned vehicle systems and insect containment expertise to develop a self-propelled tick collection device to capture both questing and non-questing ticks under various environmental conditions. Our approach is focused on the development of intelligent CO2 and robotic dragging traps that go beyond the solicitation requirements and provide additional functionality. The Triton design does more than mount the current tick collection methods onto a robotic platform, it improves upon these standard collection methods and optimizes them for robotic operation. By combining Tritons experience with that of our partners, the Triton collection device will be able to maneuver and sample any tick habitat with ease and efficiency.
