Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) welcomed global technology company Fujitsu Limited as its latest corporate tenant in the university’s robotics and artificial intelligence research facility at Hazelwood Green.
Fire blight can devastate orchards, killing branches and entire trees while causing major economic losses for growers. To help farmers detect the disease earlier and reduce the spread of infection, a team of students from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) developed a robotic solution that recently earned national recognition. The team, the Fire Blighters, [...]
Deepak Pathak, the Raj Reddy Associate Professor of Robotics in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI), has received a 2026 Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Young Researcher Award at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR). This award is among the highest honors in computer vision for early-career researchers and recognizes [...]
The CREATE Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, the STEM Coding Lab and the Valley School of Ligonier will team up to help students better understand artificial intelligence through the AI Fluency Pilot Project.
Flanked by two advanced technology quadruped robots and with drones hovering above, Carnegie Mellon University on Friday marked the official opening of the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) — a one-of-a-kind facility anchoring the university’s next chapter in developing a world-leading collaborative ecosystem for robotics, automation and artificial intelligence breakthroughs.
Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) has secured its first corporate tenant, bringing the high-growth robotics unicorn FieldAI to the university’s new research facility at Hazelwood Green.
The Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute Pathways Fellowship, an initiative designed to nurture non-traditional entrepreneurial talent in robotics and technology, is now accepting applications for it’s 2026-2027 cohort. The Pathways Fellowship provides a launchpad for aspiring founders who want to build or expand ventures that integrate robotics, automation, or related technologies. Ideal candidates are able to commit [...]
Amazon has named three Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science researchers among the 63 recipients of its latest Amazon Research Awards.
Robots took to the runway — strutting, spinning and dancing — in a fashion show that brought art and engineering together to rethink how humans and machines might coexist. Draped in metallic fabric and sculptural garments, the robots appeared alongside human partners in a rare performance that blended engineering with artistic expression. The robot fashion [...]
The quadruped robots explore grass terrain at night. Team Chiron, a group of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, will compete in the third and final phase of the DARPA Triage Challenge (DTC) next November. The DTC seeks to develop portable, autonomous systems that can assess and monitor injured [...]
The NSF Convergence Accelerator phase two kickoff meeting was held in Pittsburgh in July and brought the team together for knowledge transfer, strategy discussions, planning and demos. Work led by Carnegie Mellon University researchers to design better robotic hands for use in health, agriculture and manufacturing will receive additional support from the U.S. [...]
A new startup launched by Carnegie Mellon University alumni can transform a song, podcast, recording or audio clip from a movie into a fully produced video complete with personalized scenery, costumes, moods and shifting camera angles. Koyal, founded by CMU School of Computer Science graduates Mehul and Gauri Agarwal, produces cinematic videos from any audio [...]
Every day, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) handles tens of thousands of flights. Airspace traffic not only involves commercial planes, but helicopters, experimental lightcraft, freight carriers and an increasing number of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). As air traffic density increases, so does the need for highly precise collision avoidance and traffic management systems to [...]
A team of 15 students from Carnegie Mellon University have won the 2025 Embedded Capture the Flag (eCTF) security competition, securing CMU's fourth straight win. The eCTF is a two-phase competition run by MITRE that challenges teams to design and submit a secure system and then analyze and attack other teams’ designs with the goal [...]
Two faculty members in Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science will receive Sloan Research Fellowships in 2025. Two faculty members in Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science will receive Sloan Research Fellowships in 2025. Deepak Pathak and Zhihao Jia are among the 126 early career researchers announced as fellows. More than a thousand [...]
2026 MRSD Swartz Fellows Abhishek Mathur and Gweneth Ge. MRSD students have many things in common. Hardworking, intelligent, and driven, students in the program continually stand out in their projects and industry knowledge that they apply both within and after their time in graduate school. However, several MRSD students share another thing in [...]
