  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Among Top Participating Institutions at ICRA 2017]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Singapore welcomes researchers from around the world this week (May 29&ndash;June 3) at ICRA 2017 (the&nbsp;IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation).</p>

<p>ICRA is one of two premier international conferences covering advances in robotics, alongside IROS (the International Conference On Intelligent Robots and Systems).</p>

<p>Georgia Tech&rsquo;s participation at ICRA 2017 is among the top ten of all institutions represented at the conference, ranking among nearly 3,000 of the world&#39;s leading roboticists contributing to 953 papers.</p>

<p>Among the cohort of conference participants are 60 faculty members and graduate students representing Georgia Tech by presenting <strong><a href="https://public.tableau.com/views/GTICRA2017Papers/DASH-GT?:embed=y&amp;:display_count=no&amp;:showVizHome=no">23 papers</a></strong>, leading several topic-area sessions, and <strong><a href="http://www.icra2017.org/conference/plenary-and-keynote-speakers#Howard">delivering a keynote address</a></strong>.</p>

<p>These researchers hail from the College of Engineering, the College of Computing, and the College of Sciences.</p>

<p>To keep up with Georgia Tech&rsquo;s presence and all&nbsp;papers being&nbsp;presented at ICRA 2017, the&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/">GVU Center</a>&nbsp;</strong>and&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://robotics.gatech.edu/">IRIM</a></strong>&nbsp;have developed the&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://icra.gatech.edu/">GT@ICRA&nbsp;2017 microsite</a></strong>, which includes a&nbsp;series of interactive visualizations for exploring&nbsp;the conference program.</p>

<p>Join us on Tuesday, May 30 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Casablanca Conference Room in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel (main conference venue) to meet IRIM faculty members and graduate students and learn more about Robotics at Georgia Tech.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
