NREC has 150,000 square feet of space including 100,000 square feet at our main facilities in a renovated factory on a 6-acre site next to the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, PA, a 40,000 square foot warehouse for industrial testing and labs just a few blocks behind our main facilities, as well as office space at our two test sites in the Pittsburgh area. Our world-renowned facility offers impressive amenities for developing, prototyping, and testing robotic systems, including two high-bay assembly areas (28,000, and 14,000 sq. ft.), overhead cranes with lifting capability up to 10 tons, thermal chamber, electronics shops with SMT capability, and a fully-manned digital machine shop with a CNC milling machine and lathe, welding equipment, and water jet cutter.

NREC’s development environment includes state-of-the-art analysis, simulation and design tools. Our proximity to the main Carnegie Mellon campus allows us to work closely with our colleagues at the Robotics Institute.
