Pittsburgh Robots Are...
Pittsburgh has grown beyond its Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) roots. Always a center for research, academic instruction, innovation and development, Pittsburgh is now one of the world’s largest commercial centers for autonomous robots.
With over 100 organizations developing market solutions, Pittsburgh is recognized as the Robotics Capital of the World.
The question you should be asking isn’t “Why Pittsburgh?” for careers, investment and business opportunities in robotics; it’s “Why are you NOT in Pittsburgh?”
