NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is seeking inquiries from companies interested in licensing a soft, wearable, robotic upper limb exoskeleton garment developed at the Johnson Space Center. Identified as solicitation T2P-JSC-00067 and technology MSC-TOPS-85, this invention actively controls the shoulder and elbow to position limbs or command them through specific motions. NASA may issue license rights on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for commercialization, manufacturing, and marketing, though the agency provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. This opportunity is classified under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The exoskeleton technology was designed for upper extremity motor rehabilitation for patients with neurological impairments such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. Its portable, battery-compatible design allows for intensive motor practice to be performed in home settings or other non-clinical environments. Beyond medical rehabilitation, the technology has potential applications in human performance augmentation and future spacesuit designs. Interested parties must submit license applications through the Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by the response deadline of February 27, 2027. This special notice is intended for market research and public awareness, and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses.
