Description
This exercise is a Request For Information (RFI) on Robotics: Smart path planning and collision avoidance
Out-reach to all industries
Although this market exploration survey concerns smart path planning and collision avoidance specific to nuclearized robotic systems, the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) on behalf of Sellafield Ltd is looking for solutions from across all industries - both inside and outside our nuclear community. NNL believes that technology may already exist that has been developed for the nuclear industry, or for other industries that could offer solutions to one, or all the requirements described in this survey.
Responders to this survey do not require any prior knowledge of the nuclear sector.
Purpose of the Capability Survey
The objective of this package of work is to identify systems and solutions which are either available now or are in the latter stages of development (High Technology Readiness Level (TRL)) .
NNL and Sellafield Ltd. would like to engage with suppliers who respond to the Capability Submission form via Expressions of Interest (EOI) in order to assess availability and functionality of the technology and begin to quantify potential benefits. This will then inform stages of the procurement activity and possible future active demonstration phases using the alpha or beta-gamma remote cutting facilities.
