    Brief

    Nottingham Trent University's HI-RISE Lab (Humanoid Intelligent Robotics & Integrated Systems Engineering) is seeking a state-of-the-art humanoid robot platform with advanced dexterous manipulation capabilities and tactile sensing. The robot will support cutting-edge research and development in robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems, with applications across industrial and healthcare sectors. This procurement will enable engineering students and researchers to gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies including machine learning, autonomous systems, reinforcement learning, and human-centred design. The selected platform should be suitable for both research applications and industrial use cases such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and customer services. This investment aims to position NTU students at the forefront of robotics innovation and better prepare engineering graduates for careers in industries increasingly adopting intelligent robotic systems. Prospective suppliers should offer a platform that integrates advanced manipulation, sensing, and AI capabilities for educational and research purposes.
