- 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...
- 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 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 $1,291,214.00 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division to conduct research on a project titled "SPCTOR: SENSING-POLICY CONTROLLER AND OPTIMIZER". This is a non-set-aside contract with a completion date of May 15, 2023. Based on USC's background as a leading research university, it is likely that this grant is funding research and development efforts related to...
- This is a $374,956.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division, doing business as USC.
