ABSTRACT
The introduction of robotic repair solutions to maintenance activities and facilities can enhance maintenance effectiveness and improve the safety of our workforce. In recognition of the value of robotics to U.S. businesses, academia, and government, the DoD established in 2017 the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Innovation Hub as the eighth DoD-led institute. ARM is integrating the diverse collection of industry practices and institutional knowledge across many disciplines to realize the promises of a robust manufacturing innovation ecosystem that includes emerging DoD robotic technologies such as collaborative robotics, robot control (learning, adaptation, and repurposing), autonomous navigation and mobility, and testing, verification, and validation. This forum will include a presentation from the ARM Consortium, an update on the Joint Robotics Organization for Building Organic Technologies (JROBOT), and a description of select Military Service capabilities.
The purpose of these forums is to provide/exchange information and ideas on new maintenance-related technology. Each month will focus on a different technology focus area and will identify new capabilities being developed and implemented in support of DoD maintenance activities. Participants are encouraged to ask questions using the DCO chat tool. For more information and to review past forums go to the JTEG website at http://jteg.ncms.org/
