Autonomous & Robotic Systems (Includes Autonomous Medical Operations)

Diagnosis, Planning and Scheduling (P&S), and Plan Execution are the three ingredients of Autonomy. To date, on-board activity planning has generated only short-term plans. For better science return, from remote and harsh environments such as Europa, we must deploy systems that enable long-duration, truly autonomous "lights-out" operations.

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
