Humanoid Robotic Fleet Management System

The United States Air Force is seeking a humanoid robotic fleet management system to provide a centralized platform for monitoring, controlling, and coordinating multiple robots across various manufacturing and sustainment operations. The agency aims to solve the limitations of current robot management systems, which lack the scalability, flexibility, and robustness required for complex, real-world deployments of humanoid robots beyond simple material handling. Implementing this system will allow the agency to dynamically allocate robots to specific maintenance tasks based on real-time demand, optimize resource utilization, and minimize aircraft downtime. The requested scope of work requires the development of a functional prototype of the humanoid fleet management system and a demonstration of its performance on a physical fleet of robots, including humanoid, non-humanoid mobile, and non-mobile industrial robotics platforms. The system must enable autonomous task allocation based on robot capabilities and availability, allow real-time monitoring and control, facilitate seamless communication between robots and human operators, and adapt to dynamic changes in the operational environment. The project covers initial prototyping for basic fleet monitoring, task assignment, and adaptive autonomous robot control in a simulated environment, followed by further refinement, rigorous testing in diverse operational environments, and integration with existing robotic platforms and control systems. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget, and specific key dates are not provided in the sourcing details.
