United States Steel and Carnegie Foundry, both based in Pittsburgh, recently partnered to accelerate and scale industrial automation driven by advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) for an undisclosed amount.
Carnegie Foundry will commercialize and scale its industrial automation portfolio of robotics and AI technologies in advanced manufacturing, automated warehouses and supply chains, autonomous mobility, industrial robotics, integrated systems, and voice analytics.
U.S. Steel will join the Carnegie Foundry Board of Directors.
