Supply, Installation and Commissioning of Robotic Manipulator Arm(s) at RACE Facility, UK

UKAEA wishes to procure, on behalf of RACE, up to three haptic dextrous manipulators, complete with Electrical and Controls Systems, to deliver key aspects of a research & training programme. The scope includes supply, installation, commissioning of the manipulators at a Facility in the UK and training of operators. Whilst the manipulators that are the subject of this procurement are not intended for deployment in nuclear environments, it is essential that devices offered are suited to such an environment to ensure the validity of the research & training programme. Therefore the manipulators must be representative of devices that may be deployed in high radiation and contamination environments.
