    Brief

    RAICo (The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Collaboration) seeks suppliers and partners to develop remote sample collection (swabbing) capabilities for the Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped robot equipped with an arm and custom tooling. The objective is to create a mixed-autonomy contamination assessment system that enables routine Health Physics monitoring in hazardous and restricted environments without requiring human entry. This opportunity involves designing and testing integrated hardware, software, and autonomous navigation solutions to safely and reliably perform surface swabbing and sample collection on complex surfaces in contaminated areas. Successful development will reduce occupational exposure risks, improve operational efficiency, and advance remote robotic capabilities for environmental remediation and industrial safety applications.
