ARM Institute expands RoboticsCareer.org into physical AI

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.
