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

GT Professor of Psychology, Wendy Rogers, will be presenting a talk on human-robot interaction by providing an overview of the needs, capabilities, preferences, and limitations of older adults followed by a discussion of her current and planned research on the design of robots to support older adults and health care providers. Her focus is on understanding the interactions between user characteristics, robot characteristics, and the context of the interactions (e.g., task demands).
