Georgia Institute of Technology Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines

"IRIM@Georgia Tech serves as the flagship for Georgia Tech's robotics efforts, coordinating the university's capabilities in this field under one roof." - Henrik Christensen, former director, distinguished professor and KUKA Chair of Robotics The center activities has 3 focal points: • Engineering research on core technologies and methods at a level that is recognized as world leading. • An integrated Ph.D. program for education of a new generation of researchers that will take up positions at the best institutions and in the most influential companies worldwide. They will be recognized as the leading systems integrators for intelligent robot systems. • Transfer of technology to real world applications that illustrate the value of new generations of robot systems. ==History==
