Description
NOTICE ID NO. NIST-SSN-25-739988
Title: Sources Sought for Humanoid-Type Robot and Associated Software
The 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.
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory (EL) Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) performs research to develop standards for robots and robot systems for manufacturing, emergency response, and industrial and on-road automated vehicles.NIST research projects require a humanoid robot to assist in the development and validation of test methods and metrics for the Measurement Science for Robotics and Autonomous Systems program.
CAPABILITIES SOUGHT
NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a robot and software for laboratory-environment use with the following attributes:
One humanoid-type robot, approximately the size of an adult human, with two legs (each ending in a foot), a pelvis, a torso, a head, and two arms (each ending in a wrist with either permanently attached or detachable end-effectors). Required Capabilities: The robot shall have human-like capabilities including balance, walking, sensing of the immediate environment, mobility to walk up and down stairs, gross manipulation of objects of at least 5 kg and interaction with common objects. Each leg shall consist of at least five degrees of freedom from pelvis to foot and each arm shall consist of at least six degrees of freedom from torso to end effector. There shall be at least one degree of freedom between the pelvis and torso. Shall be able to operate continuously for 2 hours, either tethered or on battery power (allowing for quick swapping of batteries for longer operation). At minimum, vision sensing, lidar sensing, at least one central inertial measurement unit, and j...
