Google Is Outfitting Carnegie Mellon With Smart Tech To Create A "Living Lab"

The experiment may eventually introduce Internet of Things technologies to all of Pittsburgh.

Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh has long been considered one of the world's leading robotics research institutions—so much so, that ride-hailing company Uber recently poached 40 of its scientists and researchers. A new project funded by Google will help the institution expand beyond its robotics cachet, as CMU turns its campus into a "living laboratory" for smart technologies.
