  • 2:45 PM  - 3:30 PM
    The ARM (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing) Institute is the nation’s leading robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) Manufacturing Innovation Institute. Since its inception in 2017, the ARM Institute has catalyzed over 150 technology and workforce projects to strengthen U.S. manufacturing. One-third have employed AI and machine learning to enable robotic manufacturing capabilities previously not available commercially, with more in the pipeline. The capabilities apply to fabrication, finishing, assembly, and inspection of new equipment. Advanced robotics transform sustainment operations from largely manual repair and refurbishment tasks to robotics, extending equipment lifetime in field operations.

    This presentation will share updates on current projects, technical approaches, best practices, and lessons learned, plus steps to make the technology more broadly accessible to manufacturers large to small and facilitate technology transition via system integrators.
