The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is equitable access to a quality science education regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location. Across the nation, science illiteracy is an ongoing issue with only 30% of students testing as having a basic knowledge of science. As a result, the U.S. does not have enough trained ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop a machine learning-assisted family math preparation program that will help and encourage parents to provide early math instruction to young children, ages 4-8. Along with reading, developing mathematical proficiency is arguably one of the most important skills for young children to acquire, particularly with the growing importance of STEM (science, technology ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to support development of a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. With the recent successes of space missions to other planets, space-based STEM learning tools will attract the attention of teachers, students, parents, and the public. This project proposes a sy ...

We propose a system that focuses on how improved information flow between agents acting in a flight deck environment can improve safety performance. Agents are defined as either human, computational, or hardware that can act on information. Information that can flow to an agent is filtered based on priority. This protects human agents from information glut and information overload and reduces ba ...

Our Phase I work focused on how improved information flow between actors in a flight deck environment can improve safety performance. An operational prototype was developed demonstrating how the Intelligent Information Processing System (IIPS) will operate in actual accidents/incidents. For Phase II, we propose the following operating environment extensions from the flight deck environment: NextG ...

The proposed development of a small form factor Astrobee dedicated RFID label applicator will allow current and future free flying vehicles to place RFID labels assisting in logistics and asset tracking. Metis Technology Solutions proposes the development of an RFID label applicator designed to fulfill the Astrobee operational requirements, payload interface requirements, as well as satisfy JSC PS ...

The DoD warfighting and defense mission capability is at constant risk of impairment or exploitation due to vulnerability in the system supply chain and its critical functions. Vulnerabilities within a system may be sabotaged or subverted by foreign intelligence, terrorists, or other hostile parties. Due to these risks it is essential that robust system engineering, supply chain risk management, s ...

Metis Technology Solutions proposes a collaborative sensing and environmental modeling approach for IVA robots such as Astrobee and Robonaut 2. IVA robots are intended to autonomously manage habitats and spacecraft, such as Gateway. nbsp;To do this effectively, IVA robots must be able to collect, fuse, and share information with other IVA robots, as any human team would do to accomplish a task. Me ...

Metis Technology Solutions proposes to further mature its online, bi-directional, and robust collaborative SLAM and sensor co-registration technology known as Astrobee Localization and Collaborative Multi-layered Mapping (A-LCMM). The technology allows any Intra-Vehicular Activity (IVA) robot to collect data about its surrounding environment and share it with other robots via a central server to p ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prescription drug abuse is a growing concern for several reasons. The practice of obtaining multiple prescriptions and early refills poses a number of health risks for patients who use prescription drugs; because multiple prescriptions or early refills are not closely monitored, it is sometimes up to the primary care physician to properly screen for signs of po ...
