- This is a $278,026.12 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division on August 1, 2019. The grant supports research on human-robot collaboration for space exploration, with a focus on enabling robots to accurately predict the actions of their human teammates to avoid collisions and facilitate mission success. USC is a leading private research university with expertise in areas...
- This is a training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Southern California (USC) in the amount of $234,579.43. The contract is focused on developing distributed policies for teams of robots to coordinate in unknown environments with limitations similar to those found in planetary exploration. The goal is to build on existing sensor models and pre-planned behaviors with distributed reinforcement learning for...
- The University of Southern California (USC) has been awarded a $264,658.74 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate a motion control algorithm for robotic sensor networks that can be used for planetary surface exploration. The research aims to develop a distributed decision-making system for these networked robots, which would allow for timely delivery of information to a rover or base station and minimize energy usage. This grant directly...
- This is a $291,076.74 training grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, operating as the University of California, Berkeley. The contract is for developing robots that can actively query humans to determine the desired reward function when operating with limited supervision, such as on the International Space Station or distant planetary rovers. This is intended to enable the robots to complete their tasks safely and as intended, without...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $163,998.20 training grant to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University, on August 21, 2017. The goal of the contract is to implement a distributed computational framework to support dialogue and coordination in human-robot teams operating in space environments. The framework is based on the concept of a shared mental model, which is used to track various aspects of the team and the task to manage the...
- The University of Southern California (USC) has been awarded a $336,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to support autonomous robotic in-space assembly (ISA) research. The grant, which commenced on August 15, 2024 and extends through August 14, 2028, addresses the growing demand for autonomous robotic systems as the federal government pursues increasingly ambitious missions in Earth orbit, cislunar space, and lunar surface operations. This...
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX16AR58G, was granted by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $357,195.61 grant is intended to advance fundamental knowledge of human-robot interaction principles to enable deployments of distributed teams consisting of humans and free-flying robots in NASA missions. The research aims to develop new methods for communicating robot status at a glance...
- This is a $560,365.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education.
