About Us
20+ Years of R&D Legacy
Avatar Clash is a robotics and entertainment company spun out of the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) — one of the nation's premier not-for-profit research institutes, headquartered in Pensacola, Florida.
The core of our technology is a proprietary teleoperation stack — developed and refined over 20+ years through programs with NASA, DARPA, the U.S. military, MegaBots, and through NDAs with leading humanoid robotics companies worldwide. Proven in some of the most demanding real-world environments, it is the technical foundation that sets Avatar Clash apart.
Over the years, our team has worked hands-on with more than 10 humanoid robots across different platforms and manufacturers — giving us the cross-platform expertise to deploy our teleoperation technology on virtually any humanoid robot in the field today.
Previous collaborations:
Connected. Recognized. Leading
Our position in the industry goes beyond technology. Avatar Clash's leadership holds a Co-Chair role in the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Telerobotics (TCT) — one of the most recognized bodies shaping the standards and direction of the global telerobotics field. This places us at the center of the robotics ecosystem, with deep, active relationships across research institutions, industry players, and the broader humanoid robotics community.
What makes us stand out in the industry
Avatar Clash brings together world-class roboticists, software engineers, and entertainment professionals with a proven record of executing multi-million dollar productions in the entertainment sector. Our team has built and operated systems that work under pressure — in research labs, on military programs, and in live demonstrations — and we bring that same rigor to every production.
