CNET actually covered this a few years[1] ago when the tech was first being debuted. I remember reading about it because of the mention of the NSF. In that story, they shared the link to the National Science Foundation's grant page[2] for this project. From there, it appears a team of 3 were awarded $149,354.00. I think it's great to see that Kickstarters and VC funding aren't the only ways to get some funding to get good, technical ideas of the ground.
