Celebrating Women Who Shape the World on this #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay From Systems to Software, Mechanical to Electrical, it takes all of us to shape the future of robotics, autonomy, and AI. #INWED24 | #EnhancedByEngineering |#WomenInEngineeringDay | #WomenInSTEM

This summer The Neighborhood Academy 9th graders are participating in the Electrical Foundations Micro-Certification from Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy. Today at NREC - National Robotics Engineering Center, those 31 students learned about different robots, why they are used, and how the skills they learn can be applied to future opportunities.

What if a robot could serve as a compassionate companion and help ease loneliness as we age? The latest episode of "Where What If Becomes What's Next" further explores the potential impacts of AI on healthcare. Listen now: cmu.is/Podcast-Ep12-P…

NREC is headed to MINExpo INTL! We're excited to showcase our robots developed, delivered & deployed in mine sites around the world. Visit the NREC Booth 1931 to chat with engineers, explore custom solutions, and discuss mapping, autonomy, and safety applications in #mining.

Henny Admoni, Zeynep Temel and Yonatan Bisk all work with robots, but in very different ways. On the new episode of Does Compute they talk everything from human-robot interaction to how robots can help us connect abstract thought to real-world situations. bit.ly/4gvHqLP
