Robot Hall of Fame

Just when you think you have seen every type of museum possible, a new one comes along. How about a "Robots Hall of Fame?" That is exactly what Pittsburgh has in mind.

Created by Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science and Robotics Institute in collaboration with the Carnegie Science Center and the Pennsylvania state tourism and economic development departments, the hall will honor noteworthy robots, both real and fictional, with interactive exhibits. Pittsburgh, already touted as the Detroit of robotics, thus could become the field's Cooperstown as well.

The hall will induct its first honorees this fall and initially will be housed at the university. But it may be included, along with a large robotics exhibit and arena, in a proposed expansion of the Carnegie Science Center.
