Tracking & Robot Control (Unit B)
Authority: SATELLITE APPLICATIONS CATAPULT LIMITED (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking a suitable provider to supply a motion tracking and control system for industrial robots. The system must track multiple objects to sub-millimetre accuracy at frame rates up to 300Hz, record & report the results to an appropriate database and feedback updated target coordinates & orientations to robot controllers. It is anticipated that the total volume to be tracked is 25m x 18m x 6m. Software APIs to allow connection to other systems should be included as part of the costs. This includes integration to the Catapult’s robot systems (via ROS nodes) to allow near real-time updating of programmed positions and trajectories. It is expected that this would operate in a closed loop fashion where the reported position is analysed against the intended and commands sent to the robots to adjust their position. The tenderer should include for all necessary hardware, software licenses, installation, and training costs.
