nasa. gov/feed/) Robotics will play a vital role in space exploration in the coming decade. A team of smaller robots has many advantages over a single-agent rover, and enabling such teams of robots to grasp and manipulate a common load is a key step toward in-situ construction on celestial bodies, in-orbit construction, and eventually human-robot interaction.
Aligned with 2020 Technology Taxonomy TX 04. 1. 1.
Robotic Systems, this work proposes to develop sensors to enable non-traditional grasping and manipulation, such as grippers augmented by microspines or gecko-inspired adhesives. Using these novel tactile sensors, we also aim to take inspiration from optimal control and reinforcement learning to study optimizations and controllers for manipulation with tactile feedback.
Further, we aim to assess non-traditional manipulation in a collaborative multi-agent system, as discussed in TX 04. 6. 2.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
NASA published an RFI on September 12, 2026 seeking states willing to host and sponsor the new United States Space Academy, with responses due October 26 at 6 p.m. EDT through SAM.gov. Only a governor or a governor's designee may submit, and only once per state. The timeline demands groundbreaking by 2027, 300 students in temporary facilities in 2028, and a permanent campus by 2031. Here is what that structure actually means for universities, economic development agencies, and contractors in the states that compete.

Step-1 closes September 29, 2026, Step-2 on December 4, review is dual-anonymous, and up to $180,000 a year is carved out for public engagement before any science gets funded.
Read articleROSES-2025 has been amended 69 times and now runs to December 31, 2026 — but the 'no due date' and flexible program elements that carried the community through the gap close August 31. Two rules changed mid-cycle that most proposers have not read: a generative-AI citation requirement and a $0.09-per-SBU charge for NASA high-end computing that must appear in your Earth Science budget.
