The robots are coming — to Wall Street. Humanoid robot developer Agility Robotics is transforming from a private startup into a publicly-traded company in the stock market through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI — a deal that would place Agility’s market value at a cool $2.5 billion. Agility is based in Salem, Ore., but has its Pittsburgh hub in Lawrenceville on “Robotics Row,” alongside Carnegie Robotics and the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC). New York City-based Churchill Capital is one of many companies founded by investor Michael Klein that is meant to invest in private companies with the goal of making them publicly traded.

Several years ago, it was unheard of for the leaders of Penn State University’s commonwealth campuses to work closely with one another. But now, as seven branch campuses are about to close and the remaining campuses tackle enrollment losses, academic program reviews and the growing presence of artificial intelligence in higher education, these leaders are rethinking their approaches to collaboration. That was clear one night last week, when the three chancellors from Western Pennsylvania’s branches gathered at the National Aviary to discuss the future of their campuses.

As measles cases in Pennsylvania spike to levels not seen in decades, state officials say they will disclose the vaccination rates in classrooms across the state in a move that will allow parents to track the safety of their children’s schools. Starting this fall, the rates in thousands of schools — public and private — will be available online from the Department of Health, nearly a decade after the agency was urged by a state panel to make the numbers accessible and improve enforcement of the vaccine mandate.
