Catalyzing Innovation Through Collaboration

The ARM Institute leverages a robust consortium of 500+ organizations to accelerate the adoption of robotics and physical AI to increase US manufacturing competitiveness.

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 stakeholders across manufacturing together to identify and solve problems inhibiting advanced manufacturing in the US.

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