Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation
The platform is an entirely self-contained robot quadruped capable of a variety of locomotion gaits with a battery life of 3 hours in the new models. It also carries a variety of ranging and optical sensors for perception. It will be used in research regarding point-to-point navigation and mapping. It will also be used to develop novel quadruped walking gaits and compliant contact. Possible applications of this work are industrial inspection and disaster response. The robot will use the same software and sensor systems (spinning LIDAR and stereo camera) as our Husky and Valkyrie robots so as to maximize compatibility and cross use of software between our equipment.
