Description
NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.�NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Researchers and expert operators may be familiar with the concept of trust in automation, but how would advance automation make decisions regarding control without establishing trust in the operator? Vehicles outfitted with sensors and systems that can operate with varying degrees of autonomy are being developed. Optimizing human machine interaction remains critical for maintaining and improving safety as vehicles become increasingly autonomous. Human status is highly variable and difficult to predict. Despite a recent history of consistent reliability, in the current moment the operator status may range from completely incapacitated to ready to take control as necessary or as preferred. The intelligent system itself needs to know what the human is doing now to make decisions in real time regarding role assignments, safe operation and critical functional task allocation. Inventors at NASA have developed a novel approach to optimizing human machine teaming. The technology enables the inclusion of the state of the human operator in system wide prognostics for increasingly autonomous vehicles. It also could inform the design of automation and intelligent systems for low proficiency and reduced crews. The system monitors and measures multiple variables in real time, the status of the human operator and communicates that information to an intelligent machine. Status could include behavior, skill, physical or medical status, or mental state. Once this information pathway is established, the predictability of pilot or operator status will be improved so the autonomous system can be said to develop trust in human operators much like humans develop trust in automation. The system would utilize non-contact instrumentation for biosignal, posture and behavioral gesture sensing for automation decision making. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting�https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/LAR-TOPS-301 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA�s Technology Transfer Program at�Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov�with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at�https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities.�No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
