Abstract
The Air Force Material Command Advanced Robotics Technology Insertion Program (ARTIP) was formally initiated in August 1992. The ARTIP Program Action Directive (PAD) codifies the mission and responsibilities that the AFMC Robotics and Automation Center of Excellence (RACE) has been actively pursuing since October 1991. AFMC RACE is a command wide focal point, an organic source of expertise to assist the logistic and product centers in improving process productivity through the judicious insertion of robotics and automation technologies. This paper provides an overview of the ARTIP PAD and an update on major RACE activities in support of those objectives.
