Seventy years ago this week, Herbert Simon and Allen Newell, of the then-Carnegie Institute of Technology, and their RAND colleague Cliff Shaw, published Logic Theorist, the first AI program.

Yang Liu, an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science, has received a @NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award for his research advancing the mathematical foundations of algorithms, optimization and data analysis. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/liu-…

An SCS team created an exoskeleton that combines functionality with wearability to help people with mobility issues adopt a more natural gait without the bulk of a robotic device. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/step…

Whether we’re enjoying downtime after a long day, forging new connections with other people or practicing a new skill, we gravitate toward the joys of entertainment. And SCS has a long history of impacting the art of amusement. magazine.cs.cmu.edu/how-scs-trains…

Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Innovation Center welcomed global technology company Fujitsu Limited as its latest corporate tenant in the university’s robotics and artificial intelligence research facility at Hazelwood Green. cmu.edu/news/stories/a…

SCS alumni like Sara Adkins are developing methods for computers to understand music, while making it easier for any musician, no matter their skill level, to compose it. magazine.cs.cmu.edu/singing-a-new-…

A CMU robotics team arrived in Venezuela this week to assist search and rescue crews following two devastating earthquakes. Snake robots designed by CMU’s Biorobotics Lab can squeeze into tight spaces. A camera on the front of the robot can help direct the search for survivors.

Deepak Pathak, the Raj Reddy Associate Professor of Robotics in @CMU_Robotics, has received a 2026 Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence Young Researcher Award at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. ri.cmu.edu/pathak-receive…

Whether they're watching on TV or navigating with a LiveSplats prototype, we hope Fernando and his family have a blast cheering for Spain today! triblive.com/sports/up-clos…

Researchers in @CMU_Robotics have designed an autonomous navigation robot that can move through orchard rows, detect fire blight symptoms and map infected trees in real time. ri.cmu.edu/carnegie-mello…

With the World Cup starting getting started, we thought it'd be a great time to highlight Shivaas Gulati, the SCS alum who's applying machine learning to help improve Southend United, the English football club he's co-owned since 2024. magazine.cs.cmu.edu/cmu-computer-s…

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown that bacteria can learn from past experiences, store memories across generations and adapt their behavior to changing environments all without a brain or nervous system. cmu.edu/news/stories/a…

Tuomas Sandholm received the ACM SIGecom Test of Time Award for research that combined automated mechanism design with techniques from optimal stopping theory to develop online auction mechanisms that can make near-optimal decisions under uncertainty. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/sand…

For the fifth straight year, CMU students took first place in the MITRE Embedded Capture the Flag competition, further cementing the university’s status as the top program in one of the nation’s most demanding collegiate security contests. 👉 cylab.cmu.edu/news/2026/05/1…

Computational biology researchers are working to better understand the role that genes play in bipolar disorder — work that's deeply rooted in decades of student ingenuity supported by the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/surf…

Recent CMU studies show that as older adults embrace AI, they want the technology to be more in tune with their emotional needs. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/olde…

SoundBubble helps isolate and amplify the sounds of fingers as they tap, trace or rap various surfaces, or use different tools. That information could give computers important hints about what users are doing and how the computer might help them. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/list…

Last week, our Head of Engineering @MrinalShukla spent time at @CarnegieMellon with some of the brightest minds in AI, computer vision, and human modeling. The future of commerce won't be built by incremental UX. It'll be built at the intersection of frontier research and ambitious execution. 🚀 #GenerativeAI #VirtualTryOn
