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

Magnus Egerstedt, Schlumberger professor in Electrical and Computer Enginering, researches swarm robotics (robots moving in groups). Egerstedt studies animal behavior, applying lessons from the natural world to the artificial one. The Georgia Tech model is different from many other robotic coverage algorithms because it’s not static. It’s flexible enough to allow robots to “change their minds” effectively, rather than just performing the single job they’re programmed to do.
