Event
NASA awards Thinking Robots $149,945 TRACS deep-space SBIR
NASA awarded Thinking Robots a $149,945 Phase I SBIR project to evaluate its TRACS cognitive architecture for autonomous support on future deep-space missions.
Evidence notes
- The project used the operational TRACS architecture at technology readiness level 5 as the basis for a spacecraft cognitive agent.
- TRACS combined decision-making under uncertainty with natural-language interaction, one-shot learning, fault detection and recovery.
- The Phase I work included episodic-memory extensions and a NASA simulation feasibility study to prepare a Phase II integration and evaluation plan.
