== Career ==
Moravec attended [[Loyola College (Montreal)|Loyola College in Montreal]] for two years and transferred to [[Acadia University]], where he received his [[BSc]] in [[mathematics]] in 1969. He received his [[MSc]] in [[computer science]] in 1971 from the [[University of Western Ontario]]. He then earned a [[PhD]] in [[computer science]] from [[Stanford University]] in 1980 for a [[Television|TV]]-equipped robot which was remotely controlled by a large [[computer]] (the Stanford Cart<ref>{{Cite web |last=Moravec |first=Hans P. |date=24 February 1983 |title=The Stanford Cart and The CMU Rover |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA133207.pdf}}</ref>). The robot was able to negotiate cluttered [[obstacle course]]s. Another achievement in robotics was the discovery of new approaches for robot spatial representation such as 3D occupancy grids. He also developed the idea of [[bush robot]]s.

Moravec joined the newly established [[Robotics Institute]] at Carnegie Mellon in 1980 as a research scientist, becoming research professor in 1995. He has been an adjunct professor at the institute since 2005.<ref name="Hans Moravec's official biography page"/>
