The Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) hosts a weekly seminar series featuring guest speakers from around the world with varying backgrounds in robotics and automation. Typically, seminars are held on Wednesdays at 12:15 p.m. in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building in rooms 1116–1118.
Two of IRIM's affiliated centers also host weekly seminars. The Machine Learning Center holds seminars on Wednesdays at 12:15 p.m., alternating weekly with IRIM's schedule. The Decision and Control Laboratory (DCL) typically holds seminars on Fridays at 11 a.m.
IRIM's seminar series is video recorded and housed in Georgia Tech Library's SMARTech repository. Additionally, more than five years of historical information about the seminar series is available online.
