Notice Information

Notice Title

Quadrupedal robot ANYmal

Notice Description

Quadrupedal robot ANYmal fully assembled, calibrated, and tested, including the software for control, localization and mapping. ANYmal upgrade to existing ANYmal: Upgrade of the eight hip and knee joints with the active cooling system. Upgrade all your ANYdrives (incl. the spares) to the newest prototype version. The upgrade will significantly prolong the lifetime of the ANYdrives.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Quadrupedal robot ANYmal fully assembled, calibrated, and tested, including the software for control, localization and mapping. ANYmal upgrade to existing ANYmal: Upgrade of the eight hip and knee joints with the active cooling system. Upgrade all your ANYdrives (incl. the spares) to the newest prototype version. The upgrade will significantly prolong the lifetime of the ANYdrives.

Procurement Information

The platform is an entirely self-contained robot quadruped capable of a variety of locomotion gaits with a battery life of 3 hours in the new models. It also carries a variety of ranging and optical sensors for perception. It will be used in research regarding point-to-point navigation and mapping. It will also be used to develop novel quadruped walking gaits and compliant contact. Possible applications of this work are industrial inspection and disaster response. The robot will use the same software and sensor systems (spinning LIDAR and stereo camera) as our Husky and Valkyrie robots so as to maximize compatibility and cross use of software between our equipment.
