Satellite Applications Catapult
Tracking & Robot Control (Unit A)
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Laboratory & Precision Equipment band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 9,869 valued Laboratory & Precision Equipment tenders in our corpus.
The Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking a suitable provider to develop its existing Vicon motion tracking system.
The aim is to integrate the existing system into 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 be a closed loop where the reported position is analysed against intended & commands sent to the robots adjusting their position.
The existing system consist of 34 Vicon Vero 2.2 cameras and Vicon Tracker v 1.1.0 software.
The system must track multiple objects to sub-millimetre accuracy at frame rates up to 300Hz, record the results in a database and feedback updated target coordinates/orientations to robot controllers.
The total tracked volume is 27m x 7m x 8m.
Software APIs to allow connection to other systems should be included as part of the costs.
The tenderer should include for all necessary hardware, software licenses, installation, and training costs.
