Nadia, humanoid robot, Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC), Pensacola, Florida, USA

Designed and built by IHMC and Boardwalk Robotics, Nadia is our next generation humanoid robot. Meant for exploring environments built by humans for humans, Nadia has an extreme range of motion, high speed, and significant power. Leveraging our experience working with Atlas, Valkyrie, and countless other robots, Nadia will enable us to continue to advance the state of the art in robotics and move these platforms from the lab into the real-world.

Nadia has been made possible through support from the Office of Naval Research, Army Research Laboratory, and NASA Johnson Space Center.

When testing the speed and power of our new robot arms, what better way than boxing using virtual reality control?

This work was done with new hardware from Boardwalk Robotics.

Highlights from testing our new arms built by Boardwalk Robotics. Installed in October of 2023, these new arms are not just for boxing, and are provide much greater speed and power. This matches the mobility and manipulation goals we have for Nadia!
