The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute is looking for manufacturers and technology providers to complete a major, national survey. The survey aims to identify tools, strategies and guidance that should be prioritized to help manufacturers implement artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions for advanced manufacturing robotic systems. 

The survey is being led by the ARM Institute’s Data for Artificial Intelligence Working Group (DAWG). The DAWG aims to develop tools that can decrease the technology gap for manufacturers, so that manufacturers can better understand how to obtain, assess and structure data that’s essential for enabling the use of AI for robotics in manufacturing. 

Companies of all sizes looking to advance manufacturing techniques, like AI, ML and robotics, to improve quality, performance and safety, but unsure how to start or maintain these capabilities could benefit from the results of the survey.

This survey will build upon the ARM Institute’s AI Discovery Workshops, which aimed to create a roadmap for AI applications in robotics for manufacturing. For the workshops, the ARM Institute invited a group of leaders representing industry, government and academia to take part in four interactive sessions over a four week period in April 2021. 

Manufacturers and technology providers who are interested in taking part in the survey can sign up at the ARM Institute’s website. 

Recently, the ARM Institute announced its technology project call. The ARM Institute’s project calls are an opportunity for projects that help bridge the gap between the push of technology and the pull of the need of the robotics industry to receive funding. 

The ARM Institute announced eight new robotics technology projects in February 2022. At the time, it planned to award nearly $4 million in funding across the projects. The projects chosen address issues found by the DoD and commercial community to be the most urgent and important. 

The ARM Institute won a 2022 RBR50 Robotics Innovation award for its Roboticscareer.org website from our sister publication Robotics Business Review.

Chipotle testing avocado processing robot in test kitchen

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
