About this file
This document is a Specifications file for an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) system procurement by the ARS Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory (EMFSL) in Beltsville, Maryland. The procurement supports development of an autonomous multi-agent system for detecting animal intrusion in leafy green produce fields. The UGV system must include a quadrupedal robot platform with an onboard autonomy system and a spare hot-swappable battery for extended field operations while minimizing crop damage.
The UGV platform must meet the following performance requirements: minimum speed of 1.5 m/s, minimum step height of 0.3 m, maximum weight of 75 lb, minimum battery capacity of 500 Wh, minimum two payload interfaces, minimum 150 W supplied payload power, and IP 54 or better ingress protection rating. Software and integration requirements include a Python SDK, Nvidia Isaac simulation support, joint-level control capability, API access for object detection and avoidance, and multi-band WiFi control with support for user-installed alternative communication systems. The system must support flexible external payload integration for sensing and imaging technologies to enable real-time detection of past animal intrusion events with a single operator. Delivery is required within 60 days of order.

SPECIFICATIONS
I. BACKGROUND
The ARS Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory (EMFSL) in Beltsville, Maryland plans to purchase unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems to support the development of a multi agent autonomous system for detecting animal intrusion in leafy green produce fields. As a ground truthing agent, the UGV should be a quadrupedal platform capable of autonomous navigation in novel field environments while minimizing crop damage. The platform should include an onboard autonomy system, a hot swappable spare battery for extended operation, and support for user added external payloads to enable integration of sensing and imaging technologies. The goal of this research is to develop a single operator system capable of real time detection of past animal intrusion events. Achieving this objective requires a UGV platform that provides full programmability at the joint level, supports precise movement control, and allows flexible payload integration as part of a fully autonomous field inspection system.
