Top robotics places in the country

[TecHNooB]

What uni / companies are considered top in the robotics field?

Irobot for military/consumer
fanuk and kawaski are both good size. ( both in michigan)
our university had a few labs with 6 axis robots for different classes and 2 of our profs have a business building automated machinery for metal matrix composite manufacturing, including things like turbine blades and space shuttle components.

i am sure most major uni's have robotics classes, not sure who has specific degrees though.

When I think robots, I think Carnegie Mellon

 

[Fallen Kell]

MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and George Washington University are probably the top 3, possibly the Rochester Institute of Technology as well.

 

[goobernoodles]

CMU.

those are both good industrial robot makers along with ABB and Motoman. Those are mostly what we use at work.

MIT.

I know WPI has a robotics major.

 

[DarkThinker]

Motoman, ABB, Fanuc.

And I will tell you from personal experience, they all suck corporate wise.
