…the following eight projects. AI Robot Programming Assistance Lead: University of Memphis Partners: READY Robotics, FedEx, DeepHow Description: There are technologies that can now dramatically reduce the knowledge necessary to program and install a robot, using no-code methods that make robotic programming accessible to those on the factory floor. However, there is still the limitation of process automation knowledge that can bottleneck or be a detriment to a successful robotic installation. This project aims to create an assistance system that can act as a stopgap for this lack of expertise by providing suggestions and corrections during robot task programming. This…

…As the largest national consortium working to advance to state of robotics in manufacturing, and the skills needed to operate them, we at the ARM Institute are most looking forward to continuing to work with our 330+ member organizations to solve some of the biggest challenges preventing manufacturers from using robots, and ultimately, growing manufacturing in the U.S. Prather: The return of in-person events is going to be huge for 2022 on so many fronts. Not only will in allow for all of these needed conversations around things like interoperability to happen, but it will get many end users back…

…it,” said Claire Sunderman, a student at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. “Starship robots are really convenient and cool. I always brag about having them on my campus to my friends at other schools.” “I love that I can get food delivered wherever and whenever I want, just by dropping the pin,” she added. “I think they are so neat, and it’s kind of surreal to just be walking alongside a robot while going through campus. I’d be perfectly happy to have a robot deliver a lot more things because it would save me so much time. Now that…

…has acquired the assets of Freshmade 3D, a Youngstown, Ohio-based startup with a patented method of creating durable AMClad tooling out of sand forms 3D printed on ExOne machines. AMClad tooling, which is 3D-printed in low-cost sand on ExOne systems and then infiltrated and coated using Freshmade 3D’s patented method, often eliminates weeks or months of time spent waiting for conventional tooling. In addition, it typically offers a 30% to 50% cost savings, according to ExOne. The process can be used for a wide range of tooling applications, including composite layup, vacuum forming, compression molds, urethane casting molds, trim fixtures,…

…in the medical supply chain—and more help is needed. Universities (and some high schools, and individuals working in livings and garages) across the country have converted their engineering departments and 3D print labs into make-shift factories for churning out PPE. On-demand manufacturing and prototyping operations, as well as manufacturers of other types of products, have converted all or part of their capacity to address the shortages. Hobbyists and makerspaces are pitching with 3D-printed face shields and hand-sewn masks. In Italy, an engineering startup called Isinnova 3D printed venturi valves (which connect oxygen masks to respirators) that were needed to help…

…hires better prepared upon entering into the workforce. However, universities are challenged with keeping their curriculum current without turning a four-year program into a five-year program. There are efforts made by universities, like Ohio State University, which recently rolled out a certification program dedicated to finite element principles. “This is more about just putting the tools closer to the designer. You have to get the designers to use the tools.” — Chris Smith, Smart2Market Another great example is Cornell University, which developed a free, web-based, hands-on introduction to engineering simulation. Over the last 10 years, NAFEMS has offered over 15…
