Robotics and AI
Out of Our Lab
Into your world.
Robots have tremendous potential — and Oregon State University is turning potential into reality.
With one of the largest robotics programs in the U.S., OSU is the only university on the West Coast with dedicated Ph.D. programs in both robotics and AI.
Robots designed for real-world applications — able to meet business needs, take on challenging assignments and improve people’s lives. This is the focus of OSU experts in robotics, mechanical engineering, computer science and artificial intelligence who collaborate to integrate complex hardware capabilities and software controls.
Take your pick: OSU is developing apple-picking robots to alleviate labor shortages, improving farm economics and sustainability.
The future of robotics and AI is here.
