Building an environment where science is accessible, reliable and limited only by ideas
Carnegie Mellon University is building the world’s first cloud lab at a university. The remote-controlled lab will provide a universal platform for artificial intelligence-driven experimentation that will revolutionize how academic laboratory research and education are done and accelerate the pace of discovery at the university.
The Carnegie Mellon University Cloud Lab is a large automated science lab, based on the cloud lab platform developed by the Carnegie Mellon alumni-founded Emerald Cloud Lab. It will both radically change how science is done and who is part of that process. Scientific experimentation with the Carnegie Mellon Cloud Lab will be more transparent, less prone to error and more reproducible. It will also democratize the discovery process, creating a community of researchers whose diverse experiences and backgrounds spur innovation.
Construction of the Carnegie Mellon University Cloud Lab at 6555 Penn Avenue is underway.
Your support of the Carnegie Mellon University Cloud lab will give scientists and researchers the tools, resources and time to ask the right questions and design breakthrough experiments that lead to incredible advancements.
