The CMDragons won the final round of the Small Size League (SSL) 5-0 over MRL, a team from Qazvin Islamic Azad University in Iran. “An accomplishment of this nature requires an extremely high level of team commitment and discipline, in terms of ideas and software development," said Manuela Veloso, professor of computer science and the team's adviser                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The Robotics Institute is an international leader in robotics education. The world's first Robotics PhD program was founded here in 1988 with the goal of providing graduate students with the knowledge, experience, and skills to become the next leaders in robotics research and education. Graduates from the PhD program have taken on roles ranging from faculty in top universities to designing and controlling Mars rovers.

Since the start of the Robotics PhD program, we have steadily grown and expanded our programs of study. Today, we offer diverse opportunities at all levels of education - from masters programs and an undergraduate minor for Carnegie Mellon students down to the K-12 level, where our renowned programs, workshops, and summer classes inspire and educate the next generation of roboticists                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

The Robotics Institute is a worldwide hub of robotics research that encompasses a diverse array of topics. While much of our work focuses on core robotics technologies like manipulation, locomotion, and control, we also focus on related research areas, including machine learning, computer vision, and graphics. This web site organizes the Institute's research at three different, progressively more general levels: projects, labs and groups, and centers and consortia. A project is a single body of work on a specific topic or a set of related topics. Labs and groups involve multiple people working together on a set of projects, often with a related theme. Typically, Labs are associated with a physical location, while groups may not have a shared workspace. Centers and consortia involve multiple labs, groups, and individual researchers who are working toward a common general theme, such as Medical Robotics. A center generally consists of researchers primarily from within the Robotics Institute, while a consortium is a collaboration with researchers at other institutions

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Academic Programs

PhD in Robotics The world's first doctoral program in robotics teaches graduate students to be tomorrow's leaders in robotics research.  Masters in Robotics A two year master's program that teaches the fundamentals of robotics theory and practice through coursework and independent research.  Master of Science - Robotic Systems Development (MRSD) The MRSD is an advanced graduate degree for beginning or early-entry practicing professionals that are already in, or seeking to enter into, the field of robotics and automation.  Fifth Year Masters A special Masters program that enables Carnegie Mellon undergraduates to complete a master's degree in their fifth year.  Master of Science - Robotics Technology (MS-RT) A two year collaborative international program that teaches future technology entrepreneurs the foundations of robotics, software engineering, and management.  Master of Science - Computer Vision (MSCV) A 16 month masters program that teaches the fundamentals of computer vision theory to prepare students for careers in industry.  Robotics Additional Major Whether the goal is to obtain employment or continue with further education, a robotics additional major prepares a student for a broad range of post-graduate experiences.  Robotics Minor An undergraduate program that teaches the principles and practice of robotics through theoretical studies and hands-on experience with robots.  K-12 Programs Summer classes, workshops, and other programs for children in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
