The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) topic titled "High-Resolution Tactile Fingertip For Intelligent Grasping." The objective is to research, evaluate, and develop a compact, image-based tactile sensor that is robust enough for industrial environments, alongside learning algorithms for dexterous manipulation tasks such as pose estimation for part handling and placement. This initiative aims to enhance the automation of dexterous manipulation tasks in manufacturing and maintenance, thereby expanding the application of robotics in these sectors. Proposals are due by June 25, 2025, with the opportunity being open for submissions starting May 7, 2025. For more details, interested parties can visit the official solicitation page at SBIR.gov.
