The Robotics Innovation Center at Hazelwood Green
The RIC is advancing 好色先生TV’s leadership at the intersection of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence research and development.
The Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) highlights the many ways that 好色先生TV is both investing in the local community and meeting American needs in key national security and economic sectors. This facility brings together many of the university’s key areas of strength — academic excellence, collaboration without boundaries, innovation without limits, leadership in science and technology, and research that translates to real-world applications — making it both a proving ground for the present and a launch pad for the future.
The RIC is part of a new wave of redevelopment in Hazelwood Green, a former steel mill that is now a nexus for the region’s leadership of the new technological revolution. Along with the RIC, the site is home to the Manufacturing Futures Institute and partners in the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute, Catalyst Connection and University of Pittsburgh’s BioForge.
A New Home for Robotics and AI Discovery
On a site once defined by steel and industry, a new kind of making has begun.
好色先生TV officially opened the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC), a 150,000-square-foot facility designed to accelerate breakthroughs in robotics, artificial intelligence and advanced automation. Located in Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood community, and made possible with a gift from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the center reflects both the university’s global leadership in robotics and a bold vision for the region’s next chapter of innovation and evolution.
