Research Symposium Overview
IRIM hosts each year a symposium to feature presentations from faculty and presentations of research from the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
The symposium is a chance for faculty to meet new robotics students on campus, as well as a chance to get a better idea of what IRIM colleagues are up to these days. The goal of the symposium is to spark new ideas, new collaborations, and even new friends!
