  1. Team 12 - SUPER TANK Environmental and Ethical Analysis: The True Costs

  2. Overview • Project Refresher • A Basic Question • An Ethical Look (Qualitative) • Environmental (Quantitative) • A Personal Perspective

  3. Project Refresher • Long Range Vehicle (Tank) Control over wireless network • Operate from anywhere in the world (Website/Android App) • Collaboration with HKUST • Shared Server • Customizable for new vehicle features

  4. PSSCs • An ability to send/receive/decode commands from a controller wirelessly • An ability to control direction/firing capability of a vehicle • An ability to autonomously avoid obstacles encountered by the tank • An ability to provide sensor feedback to a wireless controller • An ability to monitor a battery and prevent unexpected signal loss by alerting operator

  5. A Basic Question Me SUPER TANK ?

  6. Ethical Questions? • NONE!

  7. Ethical Questions • Will this be used to hurt anyone? • How secure does it have to be? Can it be hacked by terrorists? • Who should we allow to use SUPER TANK? • Etc.. • Not the focus of this analysis. • INDUSTRIAL CASE - We’ll assume DARPA hired us for honest reasons to deploy the SUPER TANK • RESIDENTIAL CASE – We’ll assume we are producing a toy.

  8. Ethical Impact • How thoroughly tested should this be? • What regulations should we comply with? • Where should we add warning Labels? • User manual cautions? • Should we add any additional safety mechanisms?

  9. Ethical Impact • What regulations should we comply with? • It should be FCC Class B compliant. • How thoroughly tested should this be? • All FCC Class B features • Potential injury from cannon • External pinch points of motors • Reliability of all functions related to PSSCs

  10. Ethical Impact • Where should we add warning Labels? • If cannon can injure: On chasis • User manual cautions? • If cannon can injure • Should we add any additional safety mechanisms? • Physical safe gaurds against motor pinch points

  11. Environmental Impact?

  12. Environmental Impact Constraints • We are in the Residential market space • No evaluation of Network • Just Purdue’s Vehicle

  13. Environmental Impact Halo Tank SUPER TANK ?

  14. Environmental Impact Me SUPER TANK ?

  15. Environmental Impact – Costs

  16. Environmental Impact – Mitigations Proper Labeling and Documentation

  17. SUPER TANKs - Carbon Footprint

  18. Halo Tanks - Carbon Footprint Halo Tank

  19. Halo Tanks - Carbon Footprint About (2/5)thsthat of SUPER TANK

  20. Environmental Impact Halo Tank SUPER TANK ? >

  21. My Personal Carbon Footprint • Conversation.org -> 14.7 Tons CO2/year • EPA.gov -> 16.0 Tons CO2/year • Averaged is 15.35 Tons CO2/year

  22. My Personal Carbon Footprint • Estimate I will live to be 85. • Estimate my standard of living will increase at 3% per year • Estimate standards of living are proportional to your Carbon Footprint. 62 = 2783 Tons CO2 15.35 ∑(1.03)^n n = 0 1 Matt =~ 1000 Super Tanks

  23. Environmental Impact Me SUPER TANK << 2783 Tons CO2 2.42Tons CO2

  24. Environmental Impact Me SUPER TANK < 1.21 Tons/Year 15.35 Tons/Year
