Georgia Tech/Google Robotics Workshop

*********************************
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

Synopsis

Georgia Tech and Google have made tremendous strides in robotics and machine intelligence research over the past few years. We are planning to organize a 1-day workshop between two groups to share research progress, exchange ideas, and spark future collaboration. The main agenda includes nine 20-minute research talks, 4 from Googlers and 5 from Georgia Tech professors, followed by a discussion on collaboration opportunities.
