Robotics in Pittsburgh 

More than 15 years ago, The Wall Street Journal dubbed Pittsburgh as “Roboburgh,” a tribute to the rapid growth in robotics research and development, much of which was emanating from Carnegie Mellon University. That R&D environment has since created a breeding ground for robotics startups.

Since 2000, Pittsburgh topped the rankings as "the most livable city" six times. When the steel mills closed, Pittsburgh suffered, but the city found a strong foothold in Technology, Robotics, Education and healthcare. Making Pittsburgh one of the top "comeback cities" in the world.
