"Roboburgh"

In 1999, The Wall Street Journal dubbed Pittsburgh as “Roboburgh,” a tribute to the city’s rapid growth in robotics research and development, much of which emanates from Carnegie Mellon University. We’re proud to be a founding member of the R&D environment and network that has expanded for robotics and tech startups in the region.
