IHMC’s has pioneered the notion of Agile Computing – an approach to creating distributed networked systems that are adaptive, resilient, and opportunistic. Research in this area has ranged from intelligent network transport protocols to novel distributed coordination algorithms. Much of this research has been in support of austere networking environments such as disaster recovery and tactical military networks. Exploiting research in intelligent systems and software agents contribute significantly to enhance performance of the overall system. At IHMC, this research is led by Niranjan Suri. Research in software agents and mobile agents were the foundation...

Humans operating in extreme environments require peak performance. Warfighters also operate in environments where extreme heat, cold, depth and altitude negatively impact physical, psychological, cognitive, and team performance. Success in these circumstances must include an effective stress response and quick and effective decision-making. IHMC Research Scientists are developing and validating human-centered technologies that measure stress...

Humans operating in extreme environments require peak performance. Warfighters also operate in environments where extreme heat, cold, depth and altitude negatively impact physical, psychological, cognitive, and team performance. Success in these circumstances must include an effective stress response and quick and effective decision-making. IHMC Research Scientists are developing and validating human-centered technologies that measure stress and mitigate extremes that negatively impact individual and team performance and resilience. With expertise in undersea, altitude, aviation, space, cognitive, and elite physical performance, our researchers are able to provide a holistic view of the human response, leading to operationally-relevant...

IHMC researchers are working on advancing autonomous capabilities of Robots, Software Agents and Artificial Intelligence with the aim of creating more effective machine teammates. The view of robots as teammates has grown as the field of robotics has matured. The future will belong to collaborative or cooperative systems that...

IHMC researchers are working on advancing autonomous capabilities of Robots, Software Agents and Artificial Intelligence with the aim of creating more effective machine teammates. The view of robots as teammates has grown as the field of robotics has matured. The future will belong to collaborative or cooperative systems that do not merely do things for people, “autonomously,” but that can also work together with people, enhancing human experience and productivity in everyday life. IHMC’s research on Human-Machine Teamwork involves: Understanding Teamwork Analyzing Teamwork Building Systems that Team Effectively Measuring Team performance Learning How...
