Briefs: Robotics, Automation & Control
Instead of adding soft materials to a rigid robot body, researchers have taken a soft body and added rigid features to key components.
Briefs: Design
NASA has developed a new metal matrix composite (MMC) that can repair itself from large fatigue cracks that occur during the service life of a structure.
Briefs: Design
Manufacturing on Mars with 3D Printing
High-Martian content materials would be useful in making coatings to protect equipment from rust or radiation damage.
Briefs: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
Researchers have developed a shape-shifting material that can take and hold any possible shape.
Briefs: Materials
Researchers produced a soft, mechanical metamaterial that can “think” about how forces are applied to it and respond via programmed reactions.
Briefs: Materials
Computer-Implemented Energy Depletion Radiation Shielding
Radiation shielding for space as well as some terrestrial applications is challenging due to the wide variety and energy ranges of radiation particles.
Briefs: RF & Microwave Electronics
Innovators from the NASA Glenn Research Center developed a software-based automated RFI mitigation system to increase communication reliability.
Briefs: Communications
This device could pave the way to higher-bandwidth wireless communications.
Briefs: AR/AI
Digital data is subjected to errors when stored or transmitted due to the effects of noise on the medium or communication channel.
Briefs: Communications
Researchers have developed a technique that will allow for faster communication systems and better energy-saving electronics.
Briefs: Aerospace
Concept Development for Advanced Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can globally monitor dynamic processes on the Earth’s Surface. The last SAR to be developed and deployed by NASA was in the year 2000.
Briefs: Imaging
Traditional time-of-flight LiDAR has many drawbacks that make it difficult to use in many 3D vision applications.
Briefs: Lighting
The imaging system tested in NASA wind tunnels can reduce or eliminate shadows that occur when using many existing BOS and photogrammetric measurement systems.
Briefs: Imaging
The assembly can simply be mounted in front of a camera to enable focusing schlieren imaging capability.
Briefs: Aerospace
Statistical Audibility Prediction Algorithm
Predicting the extent that one sound is heard over another is difficult, yet could help engineers to better design for sound management.
Briefs: Manufacturing & Prototyping
Companies in many industries are completely revamping the way in which their manufacturing arms are designing, building, producing, and servicing their goods.
Briefs: AR/AI
The new method could slash the energy cost of AI.
Briefs: Data Acquisition
MMS was developed as an add-on to NASA Ames-patented Inductive Monitoring System (IMS), which estimates deviation from normal system operations.
Products: Sensors/Data Acquisition
