The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, the nation’s leading robotics and artificial intelligence manufacturing innovation institute, has opened a satellite office in St. Petersburg.
“St. Petersburg is a perfect fit for us, with the state’s focus on the manufacturing industry and the city’s emphasis on specialized manufacturing, much of which incorporates robotics and AI. We were drawn by St. Pete’s culture of innovation,” ARM’s Chief Innovation Officer Arnie Kravitz said in a joint announcement with the St. Petersburg Area Development Corp. regarding the institute’s new office in the Tampa Bay Innovation Center.
The Pittsburg-based ARM Institute, a Manufacturing Innovation Institute (MII) funded by the Department of Defense, aims to broaden the knowledge and skill base for robotics. The Institute has brought roughly $13 million in both technology and workforce projects to the region, with funding from the DOD, the Department of Commerce and the Department of Labor.
