Center for Intelligent Machines (CIM) www.cim.mcgill.ca : Center for Intelligent Machines (CIM) www.cim.mcgill.ca By Jerome Pasquero
What is the CIM? : What is the CIM? One of the biggest research center on intelligent systems in North America:
More than 120 graduate students (electrical, computer and mechanical eng., CS)
19 professors
Staff (around 20 people)
12 research labs And I have 10 minutes to talk about it…
What is an Intelligent Machine? : What is an Intelligent Machine? “Intelligent machines are capable of adapting their goal-oriented behaviour by sensing and interpreting their environment, making decisions and plans, and then carrying out those plans using physical actions.”
