"GYROSCOPE" GYROSCOPE - DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOTYPES BASED ON GYROSCOPIC PRINCIPLES TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING ON STAIRS AND FURNITURE ELEMENTS WITH LOW STABILITY DESCRIPTION The project will provide our companies with products to increase the stability of stairs and furniture elements of an unstable nature (high chairs, stools, high tables, etc.), through technology based on gyroscopic properties, without modifying the design or the materials of such products. In this way, it is intended to increase the safety of the end users without implying any modification, adaptation or restructuring in the manufacturing process. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the project are: - Study, acquire and develop gyroscopic devices, mechanisms and equipment on the market that can improve the stabilities of the products under study. - Evaluate its incorporation into the stairs and furniture elements of the project. - Analyze the stability of the different elements with the different gyroscopic devices and systems developed and acquired. - Optimize stabilization systems and develop prototypes with the best designs and / or devices. - Transmit this knowledge to our companies. Project Number: 22000044 Grant Agreement: IMDEEA / 2020/24 Duration: From 01/04/2020 to 30/09/2021 Coordinated in AIDIMME by: MARCO ALEIXANDRE, ALICIA R&D Line: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION EXPLANATORY VIDEO RESULTS OBTAINED Año 2022: Deliverables:    Year 2022: - Gyroscopic devices and systems have been developed and acquired to improve the stabilities of the elements under study (stairs and unstable furniture elements). - The incorporation and application of the gyroscopic devices and systems developed and acquired in the elements under study have been evaluated. - Analysis of the stability of the different elements has been carried out with the different gyroscopic devices and systems developed and acquired. - Finally, the stabilization systems have been optimized and successful prototypes have been developed with the best designs and/or devices. Year 2021: A 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) MEMS (IMU: Inertial Measurment Units) device has been acquired and adapted, that is, it has a 3-axis accelerometer (x, y z) and a 3-axis gyroscope ( x, y, z), therefore, it can measure linear and angular acceleration in the three spatial axes x, y, z. This device has a built-in buzzer to emit a beep when the position of the ladder is at an inappropriate angle, and three green, yellow and red LEDs, which will light up depending on said opening angle, similar to the operation of a traffic light. Currently the device is in the calibration and incorporation and evaluation phase in the final furniture, and will be part of the passive stabilization system that will be obtained in the GYROSCOPE project. Year 2021: Different gyroscopic systems have been acquired, adapted and developed, with which their active mechanical stabilization in the elements under study is being evaluated, with promising results. It is observed that these systems stabilize vibrations and, depending on the system, the positions they occupy in the element and the geometry, they can stabilize certain forces applied in order to destabilize the furniture.
