    Brief

    This opportunity seeks evaluation and assessment of existing remote teleoperation robotic technologies capable of picking and placing graphite blocks. The project focuses on identifying suitable robotic systems integrated with specialized end effector tooling (grippers, clamps, or similar attachment mechanisms) that can reliably handle graphite materials in a remote-controlled environment. Prospective suppliers should have experience with teleoperated robotic arms, remote control systems, and custom or standard end effectors designed for material handling of brittle or specialized materials. The successful technology must demonstrate precision, repeatability, and safe material handling capabilities for graphite block operations.
