Leading Logistics Robotics Company is the Latest to Join Pittsburgh’s Burgeoning Robotics and Technology Ecosystem

PITTSBURGH (April 13, 2022) — The Pittsburgh Robotics Network welcomes the addition of Plus One Robotics to its network of over 100 companies and leaders in the community. Pittsburgh Innovation District has announced that Plus One Robotics, an internationally recognized robotics company, is opening a new office in Oakland’s Pittsburgh Innovation District. As the company grows its footprint, the city’s expanding robotics ecosystem offers robust opportunities for market growth, recruitment and partnerships with universities.

The company, which uses artificial intelligence and 3D vision to automate robots in warehouses and distribution centers, will make its home in Oakland’s Pittsburgh Innovation District (PID) – a hub anchored by key R&D institutions Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh from May 2022.

“We are thrilled to welcome Plus One and its industry-leading AI and robotics solutions to Pittsburgh,” said Joel Reed, Executive Director, Pittsburgh Robotics Network. “Our region is uniquely positioned with innovative research, development and engineering that is furthering Pittsburgh’s reputation as a recognized world-leading hub for robotics and AI. Pittsburgh also has a deep roster of logistics and material handling companies. As someone with experience in material handling robotics, I have a great deal of respect for Plus One Robotics. It is no surprise that they made the decision to expand their operations here, and their presence is emblematic of the growth of robotics in our region.”

The Texas-based company sees Pittsburgh and its 100+ robotics organizations as the perfect area to facilitate that continuous growth, and to connect them to world-class talent. “Being close to other start-ups in the district and to Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh was very important for us so we can situate ourselves in that high-energy, relevant, forward-looking and optimistic environment, '' said Bener Suay, Senior R&D Developer, Plus One Robotics. “Plus One Robotics is future-focused, industry-leading, and we are deeply knowledgeable in our field. We feel that these pillars are very much aligned with our neighbors in Oakland and other robotics companies across the Pittsburgh robotics ecosystem.”
