ARM, also known as the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute, was created on January 13, 2017 through a Department of Defense grant won by Carnegie Mellon University. ARM is structured as a public-private partnership and was created as part of the Manufacturing USA Institutes, a network of 14 institutes dedicated to advancing technologies used in manufacturing.[1][2] ARM was the 14th institute created and focuses on funding innovations in robotics and workforce development[3].

History

ARM was founded in January 2017 as the 14th and final Manufacturing USA Institute with $80M in federal funding[4]. 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[5].

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[6]. ARM periodically releases separate technology and workforce development project calls. Members then form teams to bid for funding. The project calls center on areas where robotics and/or better workforce development initiatives could solve problems in the national manufacturing sector[7].

Headquarters

ARM is headquartered in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. ARM is co-located with Carnegie Mellon University's Manufacturing Futures Initiative at Mill 19. Mill 19A, one of the three planned buildings at the site, is a 90,000 square foot facility that sits within the frame of the former Jones & Laughlin Steel Company (J&L) steel mill. The first two floors are completed and occupied by ARM and Carnegie Mellon University’s Manufacturing Futures Initiative. Catalyst Connection, a PA Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), moved into the third floor of the building in November 2019.

ARM marked the opening of its headquarters on September 4, 2019. ARM and Carnegie Mellon were the first two tenants on the site with the site having remained empty for 15 years[8].
