Robotics & autonomous systems
Georgia Tech researchers are advancing autonomous navigation and safe motion planning for robots and self-driving systems operating in complex, unstructured environments—from cluttered construction sites and off-road terrain to lunar and planetary surfaces. Their work spans multi-robot coordination, legged locomotion, and whole-body manipulation, using reinforcement learning, 3D perception, and physics-informed control to deliver robust, real-world robotic capabilities. With strong emphasis on provably safe trajectories, edge-efficient sensing, and learning from human demonstration, the research addresses pressing industry needs in logistics, autonomous vehicles, field operations, and human-robot collaboration.Medicine
Pharmaceuticals and drug delivery
Georgia Tech researchers engineer lipid nanoparticles, microneedle patches, and oral biologics platforms that advance non-invasive delivery of mRNA, antibodies, and protein drugs with enhanced tissue targeting. These efforts are paired with point-of-care biosensors, scalable cell-therapy manufacturing tools, and stimuli-responsive nanomaterials that meet industry demands for patient-friendly administration, reduced cold-chain dependence, and faster clinical translation of personalized medicines.Relevant Innovators
Energy & natural resources
Energy storage systems
Georgia Tech scientists are developing solid-state lithium and zinc-ion batteries with dendrite-suppressing interfaces and fast-charging niobium oxide anodes to power wearables and electric mobility. They are also advancing salt-hydrate thermochemical storage and high-temperature particle media to capture and dispatch solar thermal energy for buildings and grid applications. Complemented by AI-driven optimization of long-duration battery siting and solar-plus-storage integration, the research targets commercial scalability across portable electronics, renewable power, and next-generation mobility.Relevant Innovators
