The Research Foundation for the State University of New York was awarded a three-year, $511,573 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to support modeling, design, and operation of robotic tether-net systems for reliable capture of targets. The goal of the NSF Engineering program, which provided funding under assistance listing 47.041, is to foster innovation in engineering research. Through this award, university researchers will develop advanced robotic technologies to deploy and control net-like capture systems from a distance, a capability with applications across fields such as space exploration, hazardous waste handling, and military operations. The Research Foundation will oversee the research effort and serve as administrator of the federal funds, which are intended to support the described engineering research from September 2021 through August 2024.
