About the company
The ARM Institute was created in January 2017 through Carnegie Mellon University winning the bid to create a robotics-focused manufacturing U.S. institute. We now operate as a separate non-profit that exists to strengthen U.S. manufacturing through innovations in advanced manufacturing technology, particularly robotics and AI. ARM strives to prepare the workforce to work alongside these technologies.
