MDA Corporation
Manipulator Interface Plate System II ( MIPS -II) — The primary target of this technology development  is specifically to support the operation of the Lunar Orbital Platform - Gateway robotic system. MIPS is a robotic system suitable for use as a base  or as a grasp fixture to relocate the robot as required in deep space. MDA will  develop new components that will provide full-functioning capabilities for  autonomous and semi-autonomous operations, as well as new software to support  controls and vision guided operations. There is a potential to use this kind of  robotic interface for a variety of space exploration and planetary missions as  well as on-orbit robotic missions.
