About
Georgia Institute of Technology stands as one of the world's premier research institutions in robotics, autonomous systems, and intelligent machines, with a legacy spanning more than three decades of foundational contributions to the field. Rooted in Atlanta's vibrant innovation ecosystem, Georgia Tech's robotics and AI research spans everything from multi-robot coordination and autonomous vehicles to soft robotics, human-robot interaction, and advanced sensing technologies. Georgia Tech's influence on multi-robot systems is nothing short of defining. Pioneering work on behavior-based formation control, motor schema navigation, and safety barrier certificates has shaped how researchers worldwide think about robot autonomy and coordination. The institution's contributions to simultaneous localization and mapping — particularly through the iSAM and Square Root SAM frameworks — remain cornerstones of mobile robotics and autonomous navigation research, collectively drawing thousands of citations from the global community. The institute has also pushed boundaries in embodied intelligence and perception, contributing the widely adopted Argoverse dataset for autonomous vehicle tracking and forecasting, as well as influential frameworks for robot learning from demonstration and hierarchical autonomy in human-robot interaction. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech researchers have pioneered remarkable advances in electronic skin, triboelectric nanogenerators, and stretchable sensor networks, opening new frontiers in tactile sensing for next-generation robotic systems. Home to world-renowned centers including the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) and the Robotics and Intelligent Machines Center, Georgia Tech fosters deep collaboration across engineering, computing, and the sciences. For prospective students and research partners, the institute offers an unparalleled environment where fundamental science meets real-world impact — producing researchers who consistently shape the direction of the entire robotics field.
