About Carnegie Mellon University CMU

--- Carnegie Mellon University stands among the world's top educational institutions with its cutting-edge programs and innovations. Research That Moves the World Forward Featured News Pittsburgh Showcases the Next Era of Real-World AI with $1.275 Million Start-up… CMU’s Robotics Innovation Center Fuels Pittsburgh’s Neurosurgeons Are Really Good at Removing Brain Tumors, and They’re About To Ge… CMU’s Robotics Innovation Center Secures FieldAI as Inaugural Corporate Tenant Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra musicians serve as distinguished faculty in our School of Music to inspire the next generation of talent. Faculty Who Are Leaders in Their Fields The Birthplace of AI Academics at CMU Events Quantum is not competing against machine learning. Quantum is simply an alternative to digital computing... Just like a fighter jet is not a faster Ferrari because it works on a different principle... Quantum computing is not faster digital computing. It actually works on a different physics principle entirely. Our professors bring their expertise to classrooms and labs, mentoring students and advancing research across disciplines. Carnegie Mellon University has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence since its early days, helping to shape the field through bold ideas, pioneering research and visionary leadership. Learn more about AI at CMU First Artificial Intelligence Program Herbert Simon and Allen Newell create Logic Theorist, a computer program that could solve logic puzzles in the same way a human might in a game of chess. Terregator pioneered exploration, road following and mine mapping. It was the world’s first rugged, capable, autonomous outdoor navigation robot. First Language Recognition System Kai-Fu Lee, Raj Reddy, and Roberto Bisiani create SPHINX, the first real-time recognition of speech to programming with AI techniques. First Robotics PhD Program The world's first doctoral program in robotics is offered at CMU. First Self-Navigating Automobile Scientist Dean Pomerleau and Ph.D. student Todd Jochem’s Navlab 5 drives from Pittsburgh to San Diego, the longest continuous test of an autonomous vehicle in a real-world setting. First Machine Learning Department Considered the world's first machine learning academic department. First Self-Driving Vehicles CMU’s and General Motors self-driving SUV “BOSS” wins the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge, a driverless car competition. First AI Undergraduate Major The first offered by a U.S. university in response to extraordinary technical breakthroughs in AI and the growing demand by students and employers. First AI Engineering Degree CMU announces a new first-of-its-kind Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence Engineering degree, combining AI and machine learning with engineering domain knowledge. Academics at CMU connects classroom learning with cutting-edge research and world-renowned faculty to shape the world’s brightest minds. Students collaborate across disciplines to drive progress in technology, policy, the arts and beyond. What I love most about the College of Engineering is that everyone you meet carries a genuine passion for making the world a better place. At the end of the day, I want to be someone who is helping people in a way that has the broadest impact possible. Before hearing about CMU, I didn't think it was possible to pursue and thrive in such unrelated fields together. I've learned to use my concentrations to help one another succeed. ---
