1. Center for Intelligent Machines (CIM) www.cim.mcgill.ca By Jerome Pasquero

2. 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…

3. 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.” Source: CIM Mission Statement
