About IHMC Nadia
Nadia is IHMC's advanced humanoid research platform developed in collaboration with Boardwalk Robotics. The robot features 29 joints designed to achieve human-range-of-motion for natural movement patterns. IHMC (Institute for Human & Machine Cognition) brings decades of bipedal locomotion research, including work on Boston Dynamics Atlas and NASA Valkyrie. Nadia emphasizes dynamic walking, running, and manipulation capabilities for disaster response and hazardous environment applications. The platform serves as a testbed for IHMC's advanced control algorithms, machine learning approaches, and whole-body motion planning.
