Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM), also known as ARM Institute, is a consortium created in 2017 through a Department of Defense grant won by Carnegie Mellon University.[1] ARM is structured as a public-private partnership and the Manufacturing USA Institutes, a network of 14 institutes dedicated to advancing technologies used in manufacturing.[2][3] ARM was the 14th institute created and focuses on funding innovations in robotics and workforce development.[4].

History

ARM was founded in January 2017 as the 14th and final Manufacturing USA Institute with $80M in federal funding[5]. A proposal team led by Carnegie Mellon University won the grant to create ARM, though more than 200 partners pledged support for the institute during the proposal phase[6][7].

Structure

Like the other Manufacturing USA institutes, ARM operates as a membership-based consortium with more than 200 national members spanning industry, academia, and government[8]. ARM periodically releases separate technology and workforce development project calls. Members then form teams to bid for funding[9][10]. The project calls center on areas where robotics and/or better workforce development initiatives could solve problems in the national manufacturing sector[11][12][13]

Headquarters

ARM is headquartered in the Hazelwood (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, co-location with Carnegie Mellon University's Manufacturing Futures Initiative[14][15] at Mill 19. Mill 19A.[16][17][18][19][20]

ARM marked the opening of its headquarters on 4 September 2019. ARM and Carnegie Mellon were the first two tenants on the site, which is on one of the three planned buildings, on a 90,000 square-foot facility, with the site having remained empty for 15 years.[21][22][23][24]
