There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Human-robot interaction (HRI) research focuses on developing robots that can work cooperatively with people in dynamic human environments. Applications include building systems that are cognitively compatible with human partners, mechanical systems that account for human capabilities and control systems that model interactions with humans. IRIM has a broad portfolio of projects in HRI, including Simon, the social robot, who helps researchers explore ways in which machine learning agents can exploit principles of human social learning.
