Abstract
Each of the military services have been developing robotic repair solutions that enhance maintenance effectiveness and improve the safety of our workforce. Examples include laser stripping robots, robotic paint applications, human augmentation systems, and the use of UAVs to inspect large aircraft. In recognition of the value of robotics to U.S. businesses, academia, and government, the DoD established in 2017 the Advanced Robotics Manufacturing (ARM) Innovation Hub as the eighth DoD-led institute. ARM will integrate 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 discuss the ARM institute and several emerging automation technologies being implemented now in the DoD.
