PickNik Robotics Wins NASA Contracts for Advanced Robotics in Space Operations - top government contractors - best government contracting event

PickNik Robotics will develop autonomous fault detection and maintenance technologies for space assets in support of NASA under two contracts.

The robotics company said Thursday work under the Small Business Innovation Research program seeks to advance its services for autonomous manipulation, utilization and mission planning in space operations.

The first SBIR contract covers the development of a diagnostic and reporting system to enable remote operators of spaceflight hardware to detect and resolve failures real-time. The program is called “A Framework for Failure Management and Recovery for Remote Autonomous Task Planning and Execution.”

The other award is for the project titled “Task and Motion Planning for Space Operations, with Human-Assisted Recovery.” Under the second contract, PickNik Robotics seeks to equip its MoveIt Studio with the said planning capability to enable human-machine teaming effort.

PickNik CEO Dave Coleman welcomed the opportunity to join forces with NASA on robotics initiatives, adding that it could unlock new commercial applications for the tech.
