PITTSBURGH ENGINEERING: Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University

Pittsburgh has been a world capital of artificial intelligence and robotics at least since the 1970s, and the Robotics Institute at CMU has been the academic center of the robot world since its founding in 1979. People from all over the world come here to study, to learn and to make new robots. This segment from the public TV documentary called INVENTED, ENGINEERED & PIONEERED IN PITTSBURGH is a quick taste of some of the very cool technological things that go on in our own backyard. The video story was produced by WQED in cooperation with the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania. Production made possible by The Buhl Foundation, Michael Baker Corporation, NOVA Chemicals & United States Steel Corporation.
