Overview

The objective of the Robotics Ph.D. Program is to educate a new breed of multidisciplinary researchers in the area of robotics. This supports the expressed mission of Georgia Tech to provide education in “technology and technologically-related disciplines and interdisciplinary areas” and to recruit and educate outstanding students who will provide “leadership in a world that is increasingly dependent on technology.”

The program includes coursework and a strong multidisciplinary research component. Teaching needs are served by the commitment of current full-time faculty in the home units: Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computing, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Georgia Tech has over 30 faculty actively engaged in robotics research.
