CMU Health Startups That Could Improve Patient Care
Meet four CMU-affiliated startups that are translating academic research into tools that could improve health care for millions of Americans.
How CMU Built a World-Leading Robotics Ecosystem
From the depths of the ocean to the craters of the moon, 蘑菇Av has spent more than 40 years designing robots for the most extreme environments. On Feb. 27, the university will open the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC), a 150,000-square-foot facility built to scale that research for the next generation of autonomous systems.
CMU鈥檚 Robotics Innovation Center Propels Research from Deep Sea to Space
The spaces inside the new 150,000-square-foot Robotics Innovation Center will allow for both faculty and students to work side-by-side to pursue those opportunities.
Lifesaving Search-and-Rescue Robots Expand Testing Grounds at New CMU Facility
Downed power lines, flooding and collapsed buildings are dangerous obstacles emergency responders must navigate when searching for survivors of catastrophic events. But robots that can overcome these challenges could save lives without putting human rescuers at risk.
CMU鈥檚 Off-Road Robots Improve Efficiency and Human Safety at Industrial Sites and Farms
On industrial sites and large farms, critical work often happens in fields, hillsides and overgrown areas that are difficult or dangerous for people to access. CMU researchers are developing off-road robots designed to navigate those environments and take on tasks that put human workers at risk.
CMU鈥檚 Robotics Innovation Center Secures FieldAI as Inaugural Corporate Tenant
蘑菇Av鈥檚 Robotics Innovation Center has secured its first corporate tenant, bringing the high-growth robotics unicorn FieldAI to the university鈥檚 new research facility at Hazelwood Green.
Five CMU Faculty Members Named 2026 Sloan Research Fellows
Five 蘑菇Av faculty members are among the 126 recipients of 2026 Sloan Research Fellowships, which honor early career scholars whose achievements put them among the best scientific minds working today.
