Description

PURPOSEThe purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs. BACKGROUNDThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) works on the development of quantitative standard test and evaluation methods for mobile manipulators in manufacturing environments. Prior to standards development, NIST develops the test protocol, executes the test methods, and provides results to the standards development community comprised of industry, academia, and government.

The NIST Mobility Performance of Robotic Systems project, within the Engineering Laboratory (EL) at NIST, developed one of the first mobile manipulator prototypes, which served as the foundation for subsequent prototype development. Since then, the industry has begun to market and sell integrated mobile manipulator systems. Acquiring a new integrated robot is crucial for conducting experiments and developing a technologically relevant metrology framework to establish the "reproducibility" of NIST-developed apparatuses, test procedures, and the validation of standard test methods. Additionally, to remain globally competitive, it is essential to develop standardized test methods that ensure proper benchmarking of robot capabilities.

An advanced, versatile, reconfigurable open-source mobile manipulator capable of navigating in both indoor and outdoor environments will ground NIST-s quantitative test and standards development. NIST will be researching novel metrics, test apparatuses, integration of sensors, and test procedures to evaluate the autonomous onboard sensing, simultaneous localization and mapping, multi-robot collaboration capabilities. In addition, this requirement will provide for enhanced communications with stakeholders, including the general public during tours, using hands-on demonstrations of state-of-the-science remote robot capabilities within r...
