## Description

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking quotations for the supply of a humanoid mobile robot system that meets the technical and compliance requirements described below.

**Required Specifications:**

**Form Factor:** Humanoid robot with mobile base, human-like torso, and dual arms (bimanual manipulation capability)

**Payload Capacity:** Minimum 3 kg per arm Degrees of Freedom: 7-DoF bio-inspired arms for human-like manipulation Mobile Base: Omnidirectional mobile base with LiDAR for autonomous navigation Software Requirements: VR teleoperation capabilities (critical for our data collection workflow) ROS2 compatibility (our standard robotics framework) NVIDIA Isaac Sim integration (required for our AI/simulation pipeline) Python SDK for programming and AI integration Open-source software stack (essential for research flexibility and customization)

**Manufacturing Origin:** Non-Chinese manufactured (DOE requirement/restriction)

**Open-Source Hardware:** Critical for our research needs and custom modifications Items must be non-Chinese manufactured, and offerings that comply with the Buy American Act or are domestically produced are strongly preferred. Open-source hardware is critical for Argonne’s research use; suppliers must be able to provide sufficient design openness to enable custom modifications and integrations.

Interested vendors are requested to respond with a completed and signed ANL-70 Request for Quotation, ANL-70B Representations and Certifications, price justification, country of origin and best achievable lead time, no later than Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 at 12:00 noon CDT. We look forward to your submission and your support of Argonne’s research efforts.
