- Description
- See attached solicitation The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Robot Systems for Smart Manufacturing (RSSM) program contains a project focused on Performance of Collaborative Robot Systems (PCRS). The PCRS project addresses the measurement science challenges hindering the advancement of robot technologies working collaboratively in flexible factory environments with and without humans in-the-loop. This includes human-robot and robot-robot collaborations. One component of the PCRS project focuses on "mobile manipulators," robot arms mounted to and working collaboratively with mobile, robotic bases, outfitted with advanced robotic hands. The development of measurement science at NIST to advance mobile manipulator performance for assembly operation requires the use of two (2) robotic hands connected to the robot systems mounted to different mobile bases. To assess the performance of mobile manipulator technologies that provide safe and accurate performance in support of manufacturing assembly operations, the continued development and support of the NIST mobile manipulator testbed is required that enables robotic systems to perform advanced manufacturing-relevant tasks. The PCRS project requires two three-fingered, robotic, adaptive grippers to be purchased to serve as part of a measurement science testbed enabling the development of test methods and use case scenarios representative of robot-based assembly operations. Brand name justification: The NIST testbed already uses a Robotiq 3-fingered adaptive gripper, and has hardened code for its control and feedback. Purchasing a hand from a different manufacturer would require new software to be written, the time required for which would negatively impact NIST research goals. Offerors must be authorized resellers of Robotiq grippers. SEE ATTACHED SOLICITATION FOR DETAILS
