Potential NASA Commercial Applications: NASA applications of this system will location tracking of various small and large items in space but will also include exercise monitoring, robotic poise control, vestibular compensation of motion sickness for space travel, musculoskeletal injury monitoring in astronauts, head tracking and tele-factoring for astronauts and internal navigation for SPHERES modules on board the ISS. The system could be incorporated, for example, by NASA into unmanned rovers such as Curiosity and adapted to provide dynamic load carriage compensation and multi-segmental inertial tracking.
