In plain English

Nottingham Trent University wants to buy one humanoid robot, a human-shaped robotic platform, for its HI-RISE research lab in the Engineering department. The estimated value is £60,000, and the robot will be used for research and for students to learn about robotics, AI and autonomous systems.

What the buyer wants

• Supply a humanoid robot platform for research and development use • Provide a robot with dexterous manipulation capability (fine, hand-like object handling) and tactile sensing (touch sensing) • Offer a platform suited to both industrial and healthcare applications, as stated in the notice

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit eligibility or qualification criteria, but it requires a specialised advanced robotics product with dexterous manipulation and tactile sensing, so most small businesses that do not manufacture or specialise in humanoid robots would be unlikely to be able to supply it.

Always check the tender documents.
