Robotic Simulation & Trajectory Evaluation

The contract solicits the development of a simulation environment designed to evaluate robotic trajectories prior to execution, with core capabilities focused on collision prediction, reachability analysis, and joint limit detection. This environment must accurately model robotic systems to anticipate potential mechanical failures, spatial conflicts, and operational constraints in real-world scenarios, ensuring safe and efficient trajectory planning without physical prototyping. The work is classified under NAICS code 511210 and is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Energy through its contractor, Brookhaven National Laboratory. Performance must occur in Upton, New York, with a zip code of 11973, aligning the project with the laboratory’s existing infrastructure and operational requirements. The solicitation was posted on June 26, 2026, and responses are due by July 13, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, giving proposers approximately two and a half weeks to submit their technical and commercial proposals. While no set-aside classification or point of contact details are provided, the emphasis on advanced simulation for robotic systems suggests a need for expertise in computational modeling, robotics kinematics, and real-time analytics. The absence of a solicitation number indicates potential internal or pre-award documentation, and the UI link points to the SAM.gov platform for further administrative processing. The goal is to deliver a validated simulation tool that enhances operational reliability for robotic applications under the Department of Energy’s purview.
