TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Space Suit RoboGlove (SSRG) (MSC-TOPS-80)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market the Space Suit RoboGlove (SSRG) technology. The SSRG is an enhanced second-generation, robotically assisted extravehicular activity (EVA) glove designed to decrease the exertion required to do complex, hand-intensive EVA tasks and reduce the risk of astronaut hand injury. • The technology has improved sensing, control, interface, and avionics capabilities compared to its predecessors. • The SSRG can operate like a conventional space suit glove while the actuators are unpowered. • The design intent for the SSRG is to enhance a user's ability to perform human-scale work, with considerations for speed, power, durability, dexterity, and ease of operation.
