From the notice

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: Missions to the moon and other planets will require large-scale infrastructure that would benefit from autonomous assembly by robots without on-site human intervention. Modular and reconfigurable structures, such as those built from lattice-based building blocks, are reusable and easy to manufacture. Furthermore, reconfigurable systems have the potential to outperform traditional, fixed infrastructure in applications that require high levels of flexibility in addition to structural strength and rigidity. NASA Ames Research Center has developed a novel and efficient mobile bipedal robot system to construct low-mass, high precision, and large-scale infrastructure. The mobile bipedal robot system is configured to carry, transfer, and place lattice-based modular unit cells, called voxels, to form a three-dimensional lattice structure. A team of mobile bipedal robots can autonomously unpack and assemble unit cells into functioning structures and systems. The technology provides an integrated system that enables large-scale surface and in-space structural assembly.
