Transparent and resilient systems and procedures must be designed that enable the human role in flight-critical systems.","exampleTechnologies":"Autonomous crew operations, autonomous ground operations, validated adaptive decision support for Earth-independent operations and contingency response, technologies to enable real-time situation understanding and shared intent between humans and machines, validated resilient teaming of humans and machines in limited nominal and off-nominal conditions that properly allocate roles and responsibilities, advanced ground launch operations for ascent vehicles, mission architecture modeling: ensuring mission objectives can be met by the combination of human performance and system capability, informing mission architecture selection, and automated FDIR","hasChildren":false,"hasInteriorContent":true}],"startTrl":4,"currentTrl":6,"endTrl":6,"benefits":"The proposed X-R system may be applied to mission-related maintenance tasks. In addition, this same system may be used to display and navigate crew timelines, as well as procedures and supporting documentation linked to calendar events. Beyond the crew capsule, the system may also be used in the space suit environment with integration into a heads-up display.
The proposed system could be modified for industries with extensive safety and efficiency goals for remote workers. This includes the oil and gas, pharmaceutical, construction, and automotive industries.","description":"Access to up-to-date information, with contextual relevance, is critical to advancing the mission objectives for human exploration in space. Crew efficiency and safety depends on the associated workflows. The proposed project aims to develop a new user experience (UX) for information visualization, with a custom user interface (UI), navigated via micromovement sensors. This innovation allows crew members to access visual data, even while their hands are occupied during a maintenance/support task. This proprietary control functionality (Pison device) will be combined with commercially-available X-R (Augmented, Hybrid, and Virtual Reality) technology. The Pison device utilizes neuromuscular and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) inputs, which are translated into a UI control signal. The UI will be displayed on smart glasses, which allows for navigation of procedures, while visual cues and unobtrusive non-visual notifications are also presented to the user. This system will be tested in a simulated environment, on the ground, to ensure acceptability for end-users. The proposed proof-of-concept trial will incorporate the display/navigation of step-by-step instructions, response to notifications, and assembly of a physical object. The user will maintain visual access to their surroundings, as well as the procedural instructions. In addition, the system can query the user’s attention through notifications (auditory/haptic), which the user will acknowledge using the Pison device. Subjective and objective measures of task performance and efficiency will be collected in order to refine the hardware design. This will allow for future integration of the technology into standard mission workflow and on-board systems (Phase II).","startYear":2018,"startMonth":7,"endYear":2019,"endMonth":2,"statusDescription":"Completed","principalInvestigators":[{"contactId":419684,"canUserEdit":false,"firstName":"Salil","lastName":"Patel","fullName":"Salil

The NASA SBIR and STTR programs fund the research, development, and demonstration of innovative technologies that fulfill NASA needs as described in the annual Solicitations and have significant potential for successful commercialization. If you are a small business concern (SBC) with 500 or fewer employees or a non-profit RI such as a university or a research laboratory with ties to an SBC, then NASA encourages you to learn more about the SBIR and STTR programs as a potential source of seed funding for the development of your innovations.
The SBIR and STTR programs have 3 phases:
The SBIR and STTR Phase I contracts last for 6 months with a maximum funding of $125,000, and Phase II contracts last for 24 months with a maximum funding of $750,000 - $1.5 million.
Opportunity for Continued Technology Development Post-Phase II:
The NASA SBIR/STTR Program currently has in place two initiatives for supporting its small business partners past the basic Phase I and Phase II elements of the program that emphasize opportunities for commercialization. Specifically, the NASA SBIR/STTR Program has the Phase II Enhancement (Phase II-E) and Phase II eXpanded (Phase II-X) contract options.
