Duquesne Light is offering free home energy audits to help residents identify and fix areas where heat escapes, potentially lowering their heating bills. Pittsburgh's Action News 4 went along to see the audit and Duquesne Light's thermal imager. The imager can see the heat and cold through the walls and ceiling of the home. Orange and yellow colors mark warm spots, while purple and black mark cold. Light fixtures, outlets and windows are prime places where cold comes in or allows heat to escape.

The future of robotics is being developed on Carnegie Mellon University's campus in the heart of Oakland. CMU students in Pittsburgh are developing a humanoid robot that mimics human movements using advanced technology. The robot moves according to the movement of a student wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset, allowing the robot to see the world around it. As the human moves, the robot copies those motions, practicing avoiding collisions with objects in the room and walking through doors.
