About Carnegie Mellon University

For more than a century, Carnegie Mellon University has partnered with the U.S. military to advance innovation, education, and workforce readiness. From wartime training to today’s leadership in AI, robotics, and data science, CMU continues to help develop the talent and technologies needed to meet evolving national security challenges.

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. From founding key institutions to launching entirely new areas of study, CMU has played a central role in advancing computing and AI. Today, our work continues to drive innovation and make a lasting impact across industries and society.

Milestones in AI and Robotics

• 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

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.

• Faculty include over 1,500 professors who bring their expertise to classrooms and labs, mentoring students and advancing research across disciplines.
• Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra musicians serve as distinguished faculty in the School of Music to inspire the next generation of talent.
• Faculty and alumni have received Nobel Prizes in 5 of the 6 possible categories.

Student Perspectives

• Shagun Maheshwari (Materials Science Engineering Graduate, Class of 2025): "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."
• Lameck Beni (Graduate Student and Rales Fellow): "At the end of the day, I want to be someone who is helping people in a way that has the broadest impact possible."
• Roy Huang (Recent BXA Graduate): "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."

Faculty Spotlight

Wennie Tabib (Systems Scientist at CMU’s Resilient Intelligent Systems Lab):

"My dream would be that we get these vehicles miniaturized to such an extent that you can have someone pull out a handful of drones, throw them, have them quickly search a cave or disaster scenario and collaboratively build a map of the scene."

CMU builds swarms of drones for high-stakes response efforts.
