HEBI Robotics has been awarded a Phase I contract from NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop compact robotic actuators for use in small satellites and other space missions.
The project will focus on designing miniature actuators that can generate high levels of force while remaining small enough for spacecraft where space and weight are limited.
NASA said the technology could be used in CubeSats and other compact spacecraft, where existing robotic hardware is often too bulky or lacks the flexibility needed for advanced tasks. [Read more…] about NASA awards HEBI Robotics contract to develop compact robotic technology for small satellites
