ARM Institute releases special call for robotics
- The ARM Institute announced a call for projects to support American manufacturing and the U.S. Department of Defense, planning to award about $3 million for multiple projects.
- The institute aims to empower U.S. workers, create new jobs, lower barriers to adopting robotics, and assert U.S. leadership in advanced robotics for manufacturing.
- They aid in job creation by increasing productivity through collaborative robotics, promoting domestic manufacturers, and replacing dangerous jobs with safer alternatives.
- The ARM Institute continued its cooperative agreement with the Defense Department's Manufacturing Technology Program, receiving $35.4 million to support U.S. manufacturing through automation and workforce development until 2028.
- In a previous round, the ARM Institute selected six technology projects for funding, totaling approximately $6.1 million across these projects.
- Their latest project call includes special topic areas (STAs) focusing on multi-modal inputs for AI robotics, rapid re-tasking and robot agility, multi-robot, multi-human collaboration, and adaptive real-time path planning and control.
- The call emphasizes recent advances in artificial intelligence for improved robotic perception and the importance of multimodal sensing in robotics applications.
- Regarding rapid re-tasking and robot agility, the ARM Institute highlights the need for automation to be more flexible and adaptable to various manufacturing tasks.
- The concept papers submission deadline for the project call is on April 9, with subsequent phases for presentations and final selections following.
- Interested parties can visit the ARM Institute website or attend the project call webinar on March 13 for more information on submissions and deadlines.
