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

Ayanna M. Howard helps robots become more like people. “We’re not that efficient,” she says, “yet somehow we still survive.” In her research, Dr. Howard, the Motorola Foundation professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, asks: “What is it that allows us to still function? Can we grab some of that information and learn about that and provide it to robotics?”
