Project Ideas for Doctor of Philosophy in Robotics

Invent autonomous systems that safely navigate complex human environments.

🏛 Introduction

Georgia Tech’s cross-college Robotics PhD turns tinkerers into trailblazers. Candidates design tactile-sensing soft grippers, prove stability theorems for legged locomotion, and deploy perception stacks on city buses. Industry partners—from Boston Dynamics to NASA JPL—ensure dissertation code jumps quickly from ROS bags to real-world pilots.
