Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

NASA's Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in licensing a soft, wearable robotic upper limb exoskeleton developed at the Johnson Space Center. This technology is designed to control the shoulder and elbow for motor rehabilitation of patients with neurological impairments, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. Because it is portable and battery-compatible, the garment enables intensive therapy outside of clinical settings and has additional potential applications in human performance augmentation and future spacesuit designs. License rights may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, though NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these licenses. Interested parties must submit an application through the Automated Technology Licensing Application System by the February 27, 2027 deadline. This notice serves as a means to promote public awareness and conduct market research, and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from the responses.

General Info

Full Description

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.

THE TECHNOLOGY:

Innovators at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) have developed a soft, wearable, robotic upper limb exoskeleton garment designed to actively control the shoulder and elbow, both positioning the limb in specific orientations and commanding the limb through desired motions. The invention was developed to provide effective upper extremity motor rehabilitation for patients with neurological impairments (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke). Due to its portable, battery-compatible design, NASA's garment allows for task-specific and intensive motor practice, an important part of rehabilitation for such patients, to be performed outside clinical environments (including in the home). In addition to upper extremity motor rehabilitation, the technology may also find applications in human performance augmentation, including in future spacesuit designs.

To express interest in this licensing opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/MSC-TOPS-85

If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA’s Technology Transfer Program at contact@example.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/.

These responses are provided to members of NASA’s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
