Welcome

Welcome to RoboGrads!  We are a graduate student organization that serves to represent the interests of graduate students who are involved in research labs in the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM).  We also organize a variety of academic, social, and outreach events, shown on the calendar below along with robotics-related talks, proposals, and defenses.

WARNING: Some of the information here may be outdated. We are currently working on a migration to a new website, which should appear here soon. In the meantime, please visit https://sites.gatech.edu/robograds for latest information.

Online Resources

We maintain community resources on the RoboGrads Wiki.  This includes information about labs at Georgia Tech conducting robotics research.  New or prospective student?  Browse the labs to learn more about who's doing what robotics research at Georgia Tech!  Current student?  Update information about your lab!

Robotics spans many home departments.  We maintain a list of home department differences to clarify the requirements and options for students pursuing a robotics PhD in each home department.

Learn more about robotics at Georgia Tech at the IRIM website or the Robotics PhD website.

Browse publications and talks from IRIM at SMARTech.
