The Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University is one of the world's premier institutions for CS and robotics research and education. We build useful stuff that works!
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialThe program is way ahead of current industry standards...deep in technical expertise but broad across the many dimensions of privacy.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialPlacing a peg in a hole is child’s play — until it's 22,000 miles in space! 🛰️
@cmurobotics.bsky.social and @northropgrumman.bsky.social are teaching space robots how to dock, refuel, and fix old satellites, ending the days of single-use spacecraft:
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialRobots just got a lot more delicate! 🤖🤏
@cmurobotics.bsky.social researchers designed cheap, human-inspired robotic fingertips with silicone skin & tiny fingernails. By combining force & sound sensors, the hands can handle fragile items without crushing them! #IROS2026

@scsatcmu.bsky.socialTech is only as useful as it is accessible. But much of the tech we use isn’t designed with ability differences in mind. On this episode of Does Compute, Patrick Carrington talks about how considering accessibility early saves headaches later.

@scsatcmu.bsky.socialAs part of Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin’s transformative investment, we’re now known as the Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science! With this new support, we’re ready to ask bigger questions!
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialCara Jones, co-founder and CEO of Marinus Analytics, thinks ending human trafficking online is possible. Learn how Marinus identifies instances of human trafficking online and helps cut the search time for missing children from months to days.
@scsatcmu.bsky.social"If you’ve learned CS, I can teach you what you need to know about the financial services industry. It’s much harder if you come in with all this financial services experience but have never studied anything related to tech, and I have to teach you that part on the job."
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialLong-Horizon Adaptive Manipulation Planning (LAMP) helps robots plan not only where an object needs to go, but also how they can work together to get it there.
We love LAMP.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialCongrats to SmellPGH on a decade tracking odors! The crowdsourced smell-reporting tool from CMU's CREATE Lab helps Pittsburghers document the air pollution they experience every day. They're having a party at Schenley Plaza on 9/30 from 4-7 p.m. so go celebrate with them!
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialThe US News rankings are out. We're No. 1 in Undergrad CS, No. 1 in AI, No. 1 in Computer Systems, No. 1 in Cybersecurity, No. 1 in Programming Languages, No. 1 in Software Engineering and No. 1 in Biocomputing!
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialHow is neuroscience shaping the future of AI? Aran Nayebi, an assistant professor in the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science, explains how studying animal behavior inspires more capable autonomous systems, and what we can learn from cats and zebrafish.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialSteve Rathje, an assistant professor in @hcii.cmu.edu, has received a 2026 SAGE Emerging Scholar Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialAI4MiddleSchools will expand to help educators teach not simply how to use AI, but also how it works, affects society and how students can become informed technology creators.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialUse of wearable tech has exploded in the last decade, and along with it, a host of questions about data sharing, privacy and regulation. CMU's Chris Harrison joins the podcast to discuss privacy vs convenience, the speed of industry and an enduring optimism for VR.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialPaulo Carvalho, an assistant professor in @hcii.cmu.edu, has received an National Science Foundation CAREER Award for his project examining how motivation influences a student's willingness to use effective study strategies and how their perceived difficulty influences motivation.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialTraining robots to move with knowledge humans intuit is very difficult. Through rethinking safety, incorporating new kinds of data and finding value in failure, Andrea Bajcsy of @cmurobotics.bsky.social, is trying to do just that. Hear how on this episode of Does Compute.
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialHow do you start a supersonic jet company from scratch? For Blake Scholl (@boomsupersonic), a CS degree was the first step. In the season 3 premiere of our Does Compute pod, he talks about how a fondness for software informs it all.
