[77]The Robotics Institute is the world's largest academic
organization devoted to robotics. The Robotics Institute (RI) has over
45 full-time faculty, over 100 technical staff, 150 graduate students
(90 in the RI program) and 25 visitors and post-docs. The Robotics
Institute is part of CMU's [78]School of Computer Science

The Robotics Institute also offers a [79]Robotics PhD and students
from other programs (e.g. engineering and computer science) also do
research in the Institute. Institute development spans the spectrum
from fundamental and basic research to development and integration of
complete systems for specific applications. Research includes many
aspects of mobile robots, computer integrated manufacturing, rapid
prototyping, sensors, vision, navigation, learning and architectures.
The RI PhD program is comprised of a set of qualifiers and a program
of research leading to a thesis and the degree.

The many centers and laboratories include the [80]National Robotics
Engineering Consortium (NREC), a facility and organization devoted to
technology transfer between laboratory and companies.

Facilities include about a dozen mobile systems with more under design
and construction. Facilities include over 2000m^2 of offices and over
15,000 m^2 of laboratory and highbay space. Facilities available
include many mobile robots, manipulator systems and lots of computer
cycles/person.
