-Write your biography here. Tell the world about yourself. Link to your favorite [subreddit](http://reddit.com). You can put a picture in, too. The code is already in, just name your picture `prof_pic.jpg` and put it in the `img/` folder.
+PAIR Lab is directed by [Animesh Garg](https://animesh.garg.tech/) in the [School of Interactive Computing](https://www.ic.gatech.edu/) at [Georgia Tech](https://www.cc.gatech.edu)
+Before moving to GT, we are at the [Department of Computer Science](https://web.cs.toronto.edu/) at the [University of Toronto](https://www.utoronto.ca/). 
 
-Put your address / P.O. box / other info right below your picture. You can also disable any of these elements by editing `profile` property of the YAML header of your `_pages/about.md`. Edit `_bibliography/papers.bib` and Jekyll will render your [publications page](/al-folio/publications/) automatically.
+Our research vision is to build the **Algorithmic Foundations for Generalizable Autonomy**, that enables robots to acquire skills, at both cognitive & dexterous levels, and to seamlessly interact & collaborate with humans in novel environments. We focus on understanding structured inductive biases and causality on a quest for general-purpose embodied intelligence that learns from imprecise information and achieves flexibility & efficiency of human reasoning.
 
-Link to your social media connections, too. This theme is set up to use [Font Awesome icons](https://fontawesome.com/) and [Academicons](https://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/), like the ones below. Add your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Scholar, or just disable all of them.

+[**Research**](/research): Our current research focuses on machine learning algorithms for perception and control in robotics. The principal focus of this research is to understand representations and algorithms to enable the efficiency and generality of learning for interaction in autonomous agents. 
+We work on challenging open problems at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. We develop algorithms and systems that unify reinforcement learning, control theoretic modeling, causality, and 2D/3D visual scene understanding to teach robots to perceive and to interact with the physical world.

+**Research Interests**: Robotics, Reinforcement Learning, Causality, Perception  
+**Current Applications**: Mobile-Manipulation in Retail/Warehouse, Personal/Sevice, and Surgical/Medical robotics.
