The Alabama Robotics Technology Park (RTP) located in north Alabama is steadily becoming a reality. This project is collaboration between the State of Alabama, AIDT, Calhoun Community College, and robotics industry leaders from across the nation. When completed this three-phase facility will have an investment of approximately $73 million, including robotics equipment.

RTP is a three Phase campus approach:

* ROBOTIC MAINTENANCE TRAINING CENTER – designed for educating and training robotics & automated technologies (Grand Opening September 15, 2010).

* ADVANCED RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER – designed for research and development of ground breaking robotics and automation technologies (Groundbreaking June 22, 2010).

* INTEGRATION AND ENTREPRENEURIAL CENTER – designed to integrate the new technologies into existing companies or grow the new technologies through a manufacturer.

Robotics is a rapidly changing technology that is a part of our everyday lives. It is utilized in everything from automobile assembly, manufacturing, warehousing, inspecting products, detecting bombs and performing intricate surgery. RTP is a state-of-the-art facility that will lead the country in robotics technology training and open up a world of opportunity for Alabama’s workforce.
