On The Exhibit Hall Floor
Connect with our team directly on the Exhibit Hall floor! We will have a presence in two booths:
Connect with us at booth #3663 with ARM Member the Pittsburgh Robotics Network!
Catch our team at this booth to learn more about ARM Institute membership, projects, and activities. We’ll be joined by ESTAT Actuation (ARM Member), Voaige (ARM Member), Hellbender (ARM Member), Capsen Robotics (ARM Member), NREC (ARM Member), and other robotics companies from the Pittsburgh region.
Connect with the RoboticsCareer.org Team at booth #5579 with ARM Member Yaskawa in the Education Pavilion
Catch our RoboticsCareer.org team in ARM Member Yaskawa’s booth in the Education Pavilion. We recently introduced new functionality on RoboticsCareer.org that provides greater guidance about robotics roles in manufacturing and makes jobs, internships, and training for robotics careers in manufacturing more accessible. Stop by our booth to learn how RoboticsCareer.org can help fill your open positions, connect your students to jobs and training, and power your career.
