47 Graduate Programs in Robotics part6 United States: GeorgiaInstitute of Technology

"Atlanta, GA"
"Georgia Institute of Technology Robotics Activities"
See also: [87]MRLHome.html Application study areas include:
* Servo control and low level coordination
* Machine intelligence and high level control
* Design, sensors and actuators
* Human/machine interface

Robot applications are in areas such as manufacturing {K. Lee} poultry
processing {W. Daley, G. McMurray, J.C. Thompson} and nuclear waste
inspection and cleanup {R. Arkin, W. Book, S. Dickerson, T. Collins,
A. Henshaw} are underway.

Several robotics researchers are regularly involved in a student
aerial robot design competition in which concurrent engineering
concepts are being used to tailor the characteristics of the
system.{D. Schrage} This competition, held at Georgia Tech and
sponsored by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems, has been
won by Georgia Tech entries for two of the three years it has been
held.
