Learn Best Practices through our Robotics Workshops

Our Robotics Manufacturing Hub workshop series is presented by the ARM Institute in partnership with ARM Member Catalyst Connection. Hosted in a hybrid format to enable virtual and in-person participation, our workshops convene around 80 in-person attendees for a full day of focused, expert-led presentations around a specified manufacturing challenge. These workshops feature presentations, panel discussions highlighting manufacturers who have adopted robotics, an exhibit hall of robotics suppliers, guided robotics demonstrations, and networking. Previous workshop topics have included robotic welding, robotic grinding and finishing, and robotics for inspection.

Our workshops help you understand the available robotics technologies in a given focus area, help you hear from other manufacturers about how they adopted robotics, connect directly to suppliers, and explore live robotics demonstrations. These workshops help you and your workforce become more familiar with robotics.

Next Workshop: Fall 2025

Our next workshop is planned to take place in the Fall of 2025. Stay tuned for the date and more information. In the interim, read more about our recent workshops below.

Exhibit or Present at a Robotics Manufacturing Hub Workshop

Greater than 90% of workshop attendees plan to work with a speaker or exhibitor that they met through our workshop, according to a post-event survey.

Our workshops feature expert presenters and exhibitors across a focused topic area and are geared specifically towards helping manufacturers understand real, tangible robotics applications. While our presentations are not sales-focused, we host a small number of robotics demonstration and exhibitor spots that enable suppliers to connect directly to an engaged and interested audience. The exhibit hall and demonstrations are open during the networking breakfast, lunch, and at the end of day.

Priority opportunities for speaking, exhibiting, and demonstrations are offered first to ARM Institute Members as a benefit of membership.

Robotic Grinding & Finishing

We hosted our first workshop on Robotic Grinding and Finishing as a fully in-person event in the spring of 2024 before expanding these to take place in a hybrid format due to growing demand. As such, we do not have recordings of the presentations, but you can access a recap in the link below.
