Welcome to the Virtual Exhibit Hall and Robotic Demo Tour for our Robotics for Inspection Workshop!
While we won’t be live-streaming the guided tours of our robotics demos, we have prepared videos of the robotics demonstrations that our attendees are exploring in-person on this page. Note that guided tours will take place from approximately 11:25 AM ET – 12:25 PM ET. Please feel welcome to explore the videos during this time or during the lunch time directly following the guided tours. Lunch will also not be livestreamed and will take place from 12:25 PM – 1:25 PM.
Robotics Demonstrations:
Robotics Manufacturing Hub Robotics Demo Stop
This video shows just a small sample of our Robotics Manufacturing Hub robotics demonstrations. The ARM Institute’s Robotics Manufacturing Hub provides free consulting and resources to help manufacturers understand if/how implementing robotics can enhance their competitiveness at no cost. Our team will also work with the manufacturer to prototype robotics solutions for them using our member consortium and equipment available in our high bay in Pittsburgh.
