Description

SUMMARY

 

Nadia is a full humanoid robot developed by IHMC Robotics and Boardwalk Robotics, designed for high‑power mobility, extreme flexibility, and human‑level range of motion.It uses a hybrid electric + hydraulic actuation system, enabling powerful locomotion and dynamic manipulation for urban operations, disaster response, and advanced locomotion research.

 

EDITORIAL

 

Nadia is engineered for humanlike agility, multi‑contact locomotion, and robust performance in complex environments.IHMC’s design philosophy prioritizes:

 

high power density

 

extreme joint flexibility

 

robustness for falls and impacts

 

hybrid actuation for dynamic tasks

 

Nadia is one of the most mechanically advanced humanoids built in the United States.
