Membership - ARM Institute

The ARM Institute leverages a robust and diverse membership of nearly 400 organizations to lead the way to a future where people and robots work together to respond to our nation’s greatest challenges and to develop and produce the world’s most desired products.

The only way we can successfully navigate the mounting skills gap and re-establish US leadership in manufacturing is through concentrated collaboration between industry, government, and academia. That’s where the ARM Institute comes in. We bring the full manufacturing ecosystem together to identify and solve problems inhibiting advanced manufacturing in the U.S.

As an ARM Member, you’ll work across the full manufacturing ecosystem – from world leaders in manufacturing and government stakeholders to innovative start-ups and academic organizations – to collaborate and solve problems.

Five Questions with Brian Wilson

"In 2019 there were a little more than 30,000 robots sold in this country. We need to multiply that number by several orders of magnitude! And no company can do it alone. We need to “grow the pie” and only through collaborations we can achieve the goal to meet the pressing and urgent automation demands of the US and the world. The ARM Institute offers a vehicle to fulfil those collaborations with a framework that protects IP while encouraging innovation and providing funds to de-risk and expand our technology reach."

Juan Aparicio VP of Product at Rapid Robotics

"Our membership has provided direct value in networking, access to project findings, but most importantly to us, as a non-profit, the opportunity to collectively work together for greater and aligned impact than fragmented isolated efforts. We appreciate the ARM Institute staff and their passion to think boldly and act quickly."

Jeannine Kunz Vice President of Tooling U-SME.

"The ARM Institute allows members to understand the needs of the community, and partner with other members with complementary expertise to develop solutions to meet these needs. The ARM Institute offers great networking opportunities through meetings and access to experts in virtually all areas of robotics."

Dr. Satyandra K. (S.K.) Gupta the Smith International Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and Department of Computer Science in Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California

"The ARM member community, including the Institute’s wonderful staff and Department of Defense sponsors, have become part of the Yaskawa ecosystem and part of my daily passion and enjoyment."

Roger Christian Divisional Leader in New Business Development at Yaskawa America, Inc. Motoman Robotics Division

"Participating in the ARM Institute has allowed us to expand our opportunities in understanding the manufacturing landscape. Whether it is building a nationwide network, partnering with third-party organizations, or conducting research locally, the value the ARM Institute offers our community is unmeasurable."
