The Robot Hall of Fame Jury is responsible for selecting robots for induction into the Robot Hall of Fame. Robots from both science and science fiction are eligible. James H. Morris, Dean, Carnegie Mellon West, Mountain View, California, selects and convenes the jury of international scholars, researchers, writers, and designers.

The Hall of Fame gathers nominations from many sources, including this website. The jury makes the final selections from among those nominees. Teleconferences provide opportunities for discussion of the merits of each robot nominee. Final selections are announced by Carnegie Mellon University on this website.
