HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: APEX has anonymized the information below due to the competitive nature of the solicitations and proposal environment. If you find an interest, please contact Michael Bianco using the input form below. Include the APEX assigned number or list of numbers to which you want to be introduced. The table columns designate whether the organization seeking a partner is a company or a university and the kind of organization sought for a partnership. The table also includes a technology description of what the advertising organization brings to the table (technology brought) and what the advertising organization seeks in a partner (technology sought) as well as the technical competencies of the desired partner. Once you respond with the APEX assigned number(s) you are interested in meeting, we will review the request with the researcher seeking a partner and get their approval to release additional information to both parties and connect the two of you to explore a collaboration. Once we connect parties, we leave it up to you to discuss if interests, objectives, and capabilities are aligned.
| APEX assigned number | Organization type | Type of partner being sought Sort ascending | Technology and/or capabilities brought into the proposal | Technology and/or capabilities sought in a partner or subcontractor | Areas of technical competence requested in a partner or subcontractor | What component or agency are you interested in? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 58 | Research Institute | Small Business | Efficient and low-cost surface disinfection technology through non-contact scanning. It can reduce the use of disinfectants significantly, as it is reusable like UV. But it is safer to use while people are at present. It can be made into disinfection robots, like "Roomba". It can also be used for face mask disinfection to realize safe reuse. The power consumption (<5W) and cost (<$50) are very low. | Looking for a small business to apply STTR/SBIR grants together; better have the capability in medical device designing and electrical device manufacturing. | Advanced/Additive Manufacturing, Machine Design, Medical Instrumentation, Microelectronic design, Robotics, Sense and Avoid | Air Force, Space Force, Army, Navy, DoD Other (DARPA, DLA, USSOCOM, etc.), Non-DoD (Dept. of Energy, NASA, NSF, etc.) |

| 84 | Research Institute | Small Business | We specialize in space robotics focusing on contact dynamics, system dynamics, and GNC areas. We have developed the six state-of-the-art technologies for space robotic systems as follows: (1) contact dynamics modeling and simulation of complex robotic operations such as docking, capturing and ORU replacing; (2) simultaneous measurement of contact-dynamics model parameters (contact stiffness, damping, and friction) from ground-based hardware tests; (3) AI enhanced sensing or experimental data processing; (4) decentralized control for a distributed multi-spacecraft/robot team to achieve a team goal with physical and safety constraints; (5) optimal control of a robotic arm for safe and minimum-disturbance capture in orbit; (6) Reinforcement learning based adaptive control of robotic operation without the need of path planning. We have completed the theoretical development of these new methods and published the results in high-impact journals and conferences. Now we are seeking opportunities to raise TRL level of these methods by conducting lab-based experimental testing either at university or industry. We also seek opportunities to transit the technologies into space systems for possible flight testing and integrated into commercial space products. | We are looking for industrial partners who are experienced with developing spacecraft and/or robotic systems or solutions (hardware or software) and need any one of the above-mentioned six key technology areas to enable or enhance their products or future services.
