Generation Robot: From Science Fiction to Reality

It used to be the stuff of science fiction. But now, robots are all around us. They’re working in our factories. They’re in our schools. They’re even in our hotel rooms.

This five-part series takes Grant Imahara (former MythBuster) around the world to explore the companies that are bringing humans and robots together. Part one takes him to Georgia Tech University Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) in Atlanta, the first school to offer an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in robotics.
