Recognizing the importance of advanced manufacturing in rebuilding the economy, the Obama administration created an Office of Manufacturing Policy and the $500 million “Advanced Manufacturing Partnership” (AMP), which calls for the creation of 500,000 credentialed workers in advanced manufacturing with industry certifications. The Georgia Institute of Technology, one of six academic institutions part of the steering committee for the AMP, is a leader in manufacturing robotics technology and will use a gift of nearly $1 million in robotics equipment from Coca-Cola Bottling Co. to create a Manufacturing Robotics Logistics Laboratory on campus.
