Industry Partners Program


 

Our Industry Partners Program allows members to explore opportunities for research collaborations, testing services, consulting relationships, student hiring, and other valuable interactions. 

IRIM’s industry partners are well positioned to take advantage of new technologies as they are developed, and the collaborative research environment provides companies with unprecedented access to some of the world’s best computer scientists and engineers. Through Georgia Tech’s redesigned research contracting, members enjoy industry-friendly intellectual property arrangements.

We invite you to join our Industrial Partners Program (IP2), a partnership that offers your company exclusive benefits tailored to meet your needs through three different membership tiers. Whether you join us as a strategic partner, an industry affiliate, or as a member of one of our customized industry consortia, your company will be invigorated and supported through our ongoing work as a consolidated group of robotics leaders.

 

Contact the IRIM Industry representative to begin an industry partnership tailored to meet your needs.

Manufacturing & Agricultural

Robotics has the potential to revolutionize manufacturing and agricultural inspection and harvesting tasks on factory floors and commodity farms. This is true from the standpoints of labor, economics, supply chain resilience, crop disease detection, and assessment. Specialty manufacturers and farms stand to benefit the most because their operations rely on large amounts of manual labor. By contrast, most aspects of commodity manufacturing and farming have already been automated.
