Geisel Software, Inc. of Worcester, a custom software development company, in conjunction with Arizona State University, has been awarded a Small Business Technology Transfer contract from NASA, the groups announced together on Friday.
The contract pertains to swarming space robotics research.
Under the agreement, Geisel Software will work in tandem with researchers at ASU to develop technologies enabling communications-less coordination. The research will be important for helping deploy small, low-cost spacecraft which could transport sensors and instruments to high-risk environments, according to the announcement.
“This is Geisel Software’s second NASA award in the area of swarming robotics and this new research will help take us a step closer to providing swarming solutions that increase the efficiency of space exploration while decreasing the risk to human explorers,” said Brian Geisel, the company’s CEO, in a statement.
The terms of the contract were not disclosed.
