IHMC featured in Orlando Sentinel

   July 2, 2008

The Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition is featured in the Orlando Sentinel today:

WALL-E, Iron Man, the Transformers, Aquaman and even Pluto are very real working concepts in a unique research lab that is luring millions in military contracts and some of the world’s brainiest scientists to this Panhandle town.

“They are doing things with breakthrough technologies that are way beyond James Bond,” said Pensacola Mayor John Fogg, a former fighter pilot.

Even as the Phoenix Lander searches Mars for water, these researchers are working to put astronauts on the Red Planet. Science fiction fantasies and comic book heroes have conceptual counterparts at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, which has close ties to Orlando and is opening a branch in Ocala.
