NREC has 150,000 square feet of space including 100,000 square feet at our main facilities in renovated factory on a 6-acre site next to the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, PA, a 40,000 square foot warehouse for industrial testing and labs just a few blocks behind out main facilities, as well as office space at our two test sites in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Our world-renowned facility offers impressive amenities for developing, prototyping, and testing robotic systems, including two high-bay assembly areas (28,000, and 14,000 sq. ft.), overhead cranes with lifting capability up to 10 tons, thermal chamber, electronics shops with SMT capability, and a fully-manned digital machine shop with a CNC milling machine and lathe, welding equipment, and water jet cutter.
NREC’s development environment includes state-of-the-art analysis, simulation and design tools. Our proximity to the main Carnegie Mellon campus allows us to work closely with our colleagues at the Robotics Institute.
NREC maintains a number of sites to conduct testing, including 1 and 2-acre outdoor test areas at our main facility. Our off-site test areas range from 150 to 250 acres, enabling us to perform extensive testing over many different types of terrain in rugged environments and under extreme conditions. Our test sites cover a wide range of terrain including dirt roads, hills, ditches, steep slopes, vegetation, forests, etc.
