The ARM Institute has expanded RoboticsCareer.org, a website connecting job seekers with robotics careers in manufacturing, to emphasize physical AI and the skills needed to work with AI-enabled robots. The expansion includes a competency framework defining required skills, listings of over 1,300 training programs focused on physical AI, more than 18,000 job postings updated daily, and a national talent database that allows employers to find qualified candidates. The site addresses a stated need to support the manufacturing workforce through rapid technological change, as manufacturers increasingly adopt AI-enabled robots to handle workforce shortages and growing demand, transforming rather than eliminating jobs. Without worker support and training pathways, according to the ARM Institute, these technologies risk remaining underutilized despite their potential to strengthen U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.

The new Cobot Painter handles liquid paint and powder coating with no dedicated paint cell required. | Source: Hirebotics Hirebotics LLC today launched its Cobot Painter, an explosion-proof system built using its no-code Beacon platform and the FANUC CRX-10iA/L Paint hardware. The company said it offers metal fabricators and manufacturers a high-mix, low-volume alternative to manual spraying and complex automated lines. “The Cobot Painter eliminates the need for dedicated paint cells and c

Carter uses Aptiv’s PULSE sensor, which is designed for environments that demand precise detection and involve complex maneuvering. | Source: Robust.AI Robust.AI this week said it has selected Aptiv PLC’s intelligent perception systems, including AI and machine learning-based sensor fusion powered by the Aptiv PULSE sensor, for its Gen 3 Carter collaborative mobile robot. For industrial applications, reliability across operating environments such as warehouses, manufacturing floors, and cold sto

The new Mantis MR-X dual-arm fenceless robot. | Source: Mantis Robotics Mantis Robotics yesterday unveiled the MR-X, a biomimetic dual-arm robot designed to operate without safety fences or cages. The company said the system has embedded physical AI capabilities that enable it to operate alongside human workers. The MR-X builds on years of proven, certified fenceless operation, backed by major entities in automation, including Amazon. The MR-1, certified to ISO 10218 and ISO 13849, has already d
