NRL is seeking a quadruped robot that provides basic capabilities of balance and walking in uneven terrain but also affords the user access to modify or replace the low-level motor/leg controller software for situations where development of such control software is integral to user's research and application area. For example, a robot for use in shipboard environments requires development of control capabilities specific to maintaining balance in various sea states with as experienced by different ship classes and with different ship maneuvers. The robot must have integrated sensors for sensing dynamic environments and a software SDK/API to allow user access to the factory software and sensor data, to implement mid-level level capabilities, and for development of high-level research application software. CONTRACTOR RESPONSE FORMAT: NRL requests that interested parties, at a minimum, supply the following information via email: Contact Information a) Name of Company and Point of Contact (POC) with associated contact information b) Business Size/Socioeconomic Categories c) Unique Entity ID and/or CAGE Code Technical Information a) Description/information of items that can meet the attached draft specifications b) Describe whether your company can provide a quadruped robot which meets attached draft specifications c) Prior experience of similar scope to that in the attached draft specifications d) Any questions/suggestions (including alternate configurations) related to the draft specifications e) Suggested NAICS and PSC for the effort, if different from NAICS above Responses should be no more than 20 pages, and should be emailed to the Contract Specialist, Morgan Lynch, at morgan.lynch@nrl.navy.mil.
