Dexterous  Interface and Tool for Planetary and Deep Space — There is an international need to develop technologies capable of  supporting deep space and planetary missions that maximize flexibility and  adaptability. MDA will develop a dexterous robotic interface  and tool technology that is lunar dust-tolerant and includes high-speed data  transfer and mechanisms capable of lunar surface operational and launch loads. This  technology will maintain Canada's competitive edge in building space robotic  manipulators.
