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 even in our hotel rooms," Grant Imahara, robot expert, and former MythBuster says as he introduces the Generation Robot video series. This five-part series takes Grant 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.
