Not to brag, but we're going to. Please join us in congratulating Morley Stone and Ryan Tilley for their appearance on the InWeekly Power List. We're grateful to have them both on our team. https://lnkd.in/eRJawAZb

If you missed Dr. Pascal Lee's Pensacola Evening Lecture, the video recap is ready for you. Lee is a planetary scientist with the SETI Institute, the Mars Institute, and NASA Ames Research Center. Do you wonder what it would take to return to the Moon and venture beyond — to Mars? Lee shares our current plans, the challenges we face, the wonders that lie ahead, and important decisions to make. https://lnkd.in/ekdRem5G

IHMC has taken humanoid robotics to the next level with Nadia, a highly capable bipedal robot demonstrating autonomous door navigation. Equipped with advanced perception systems, AI-driven decision-making, and dynamic motion control, Nadia can assess different types of doors, determine how to operate them, and navigate through complex environments without human intervention. This breakthrough is crucial for search and rescue, industrial automation, and hazardous environment operations, where robots must function independently in unpredictable conditions. By integrating AI, force control, and real-time path planning, IHMC is setting new benchmarks in humanoid robotics, bringing us closer to seamless human-robot collaboration. ??

If you're a student hoping for great opportunities to work with a variety of cutting edge robots, we're looking for a number of talented interns at IHMC for this summer! We have opportunities for mechanical and electrical interns to work with our humanoid hardware team, as well as software interns to work with our controls and autonomy teams! It's a great time to work in this space! https://lnkd.in/gNrA3-gr #humanoids #robotics

This week, we hosted the leadership team from Florida Blue for a visit and a tour of the new Healthspan, Resilience, and Performance Research Complex. Thank you for allowing us to share our story and for your partnership and support.

After more than a century of research, the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s remains a mystery. Dr. Karl Herrup has made a career of trying to unravel that mystery. For decades, the leading theory has been that abnormal amyloid plaques in the brain are the central cause of the disease. On the latest episode of STEM-Talk — available now — Herrup shares his view that the amyloid cascade hypothesis is not only flawed but also could be holding back research for a cure. “At root, the problem stems from trying to make a complicated disease simple,” Herrup says. “At a more practical level, the problem goes back to the very first description of the disease itself by the guy whose name is on the disease.” The history of assumptions made about the disease, and the impacts those assumptions have had since is just one aspect of this fascinating conversation.

This opportunity for a passionate scientist and educator is a joint appointment with UWF and IHMC. Does it fit you? https://lnkd.in/eFYDZ9q7

Pensacola attorney H. Wesley “Wes” Reeder has joined IHMC's Board of Directors. He is president and shareholder for Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon. Dr. Morley Stone, IHMC’s chief executive officer, said Reeder’s expertise and experience will be a great asset in continuing to move the Institute forward. “IHMC is very fortunate to have Wes join our board of directors,” Stone says. “His personal and professional experience — from his U.S. Navy service to his legal career — will be an incredibly valuable resource for us. We all look forward to working with Wes as we move into the next chapter of IHMC’s story.” https://lnkd.in/eCrcDD4J

IHMC is in search of 250 people ages 60 and older for a seven-month trial to better understand the health benefits of exercise. This clinical trial — supported by a National Institutes of Health grant to Dr. Marcas Bamman — is a collaboration among IHMC, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the University of Florida. “Exercise is a potent treatment with the promise to mitigate most aging hallmarks, but there is substantial variability in individual exercise responsiveness,” Bamman says. “This trial will help us learn more about why that variability occurs, along with strategies to boost responsiveness.” Learn more here. https://lnkd.in/ecfFehPU
