CMU’s MSR places you at the heart of the Robotics Institute, where self-driving cars, lunar rovers, and surgical robots are born. The fast-track two-semester curriculum blends perception, locomotion, controls, and ethics, culminating in an intensive practicum where industry-sponsored teams deploy robots in mines, farms, or disaster-response scenarios. Access to the 150-acre NREC test range, cutting-edge motion-capture arenas, and Open Source Robotics middleware keeps you on the frontier.
