This equipment will support TATRC�s ongoing efforts to design, develop and test new technologies to facilitate a virtual hospital environment necessary in forward operations abroad and emergency situations domestically. The purpose of the ""Virtual Hospital"" effort is to add increased hospital-like capabilities at the point of need to NETCCN platform(s) to increase capability and capacity. Priority �Virtual Hospital� capabilities include interoperability and closed-loop control of medical devices, remote control/automating tasks (monitoring, IV fluids/medication, mechanical ventilation), and resource monitoring. Clearpath Robotics is the only unmanned ground vehicle mobile platform that fits with the research needs of TATRC with upgraded battery (extended use and future integrations with robotic manipulators), a metal top plate (for mounting robotic arms and perception sensors), and two computing devices (the mini ITX Single board for robotic control and the JETSON Xavier for graphical perception computing). �The entirety of the design aligns with the specifications deemed essential for the research aims of Virtual Hospital technology development. An essential requirement of TATRC�s research is the customizability and configurability to adapt to project needs. � The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334519 with a Small Business Size Standard of 750 employees.
