CMU Robots Star at Davos 2015 

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) robots have been underground, on the water and in the air. Now, CMU is taking a robot to the moon. The CMU team held a live demonstration of its lunar robot at the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, led by William (Red) Whittaker, Fredkin University Research Professor at CMU and Chairman and Chief Science Officer of Astrobotic Technology. CMU President Dr. Subra Suresh and faculty members - Justine Cassell, Associate Vice-Provost for Technology Strategy and Impact; Illah Nourbakhsh, Professor, Robotics Institute; Director of the CREATE Lab; and Tony Stentz, Research Professor, Robotics Institute; Director, National Robotics Engineering Center - also led conversations at the World Economic Forum meeting about the intersection of natural and artificial intelligence and its implications for people and technology.
