*********************************
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
*********************************
We hope you will join us on Thursday, March 31 from 12:30pm – 5:00 pm EDT, for the annual Georgia Tech Robotics Research Showcase hosted by the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM). This year’s event will be in person.
By attending this event, you will have the opportunity to interact with talented robotics students enrolled in engineering programs in Mechanical, Electrical & Computer, Aerospace, and Biomedical, as well as students enrolled in Computer Science. The group is a mixture of graduate and undergraduate students nearing graduation, mid-career students looking for internship opportunities, and new students looking to find promising research directions. Each student will present a research poster, offering you an opportunity to see their work and their scientific process.
If you will attend, please complete a short registration

Research Showcase - Registration
12:30PM Panel Discussion: The Future of Robotics, and how GT will take us there
1:20PM Keynote | Robotic manipulation in logistics: from research labs to warehouse automation - Matt Mason, CMU/Berkshire Grey
This talk discusses research in robotic manipulation, and then looks at some of the Berkshire Grey technology and systems. It discusses some lessons learned from warehouse automation, from the contrast between warehouses and factories, and from the contrast between academia and industry.
Matt Mason is the Chief Scientist at Berkshire Grey, and Professor Emeritus of Robotics and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned the BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Computer Science at the MIT AI Lab. He was Director of the CMU Robotics Institute from 2004 to 2014. He is a Fellow of the AAAI, the IEEE, and the ACM. He won the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s Pioneer Award, and the IEEE Technical Field Award in Robotics and Automation.
2:10PM Panel Discussion | Human-Centered Robotics - Karen Feigh, Matthew Gombolay, Charlie Kemp
3:00PM Poster Session
