Center for Intelligent Machines (CIM) www. cim. mcgill. ca By Jerome Pasquero
What is the CIM? One of the biggest research center on intelligent systems in North America: l l 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? l “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. ” Source: CIM Mission Statement
