Pittsburgh, the new robot country
Pittsburgh is emerging
as the robotic answer to Silicon Valley.
Thanks to Carnegie Mellon University's (CMU) robotics program and city’s industrial past, Pittsburgh is becoming the country where next generation robot technology can be developed and grow.
Pittsburgh's robot history is very long, starting in 1927 with Westinghouse Electric's development of a machine that could pick up a phone and adjust the water level of a dam.
Today there are more than 30 robotic companies in the area, so the city is considered to be one of America’s major hubs for robotic innovation as Boston and San Francisco.
Last but not last, Thomasmeyer says robotics could become a leading industry for the city in the next five to 10 years, with the continuance of present trends.
Old mills and plants left vacant by the decline of Pittsburgh's steel industry are perfect places for robotics startups as open spaces can be used as perfect place where test inventions.
