July 28-29, 2009—The Great Lakes Chapter of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) will host an Automotive-Robotics Partnership Workshop at Oakland University to help link up Michigan’s automotive manufacturing infrastructure with the robotics needs of the Department of Defense (DoD).
This event will expand the framework established under the DoD’s Mentor Protégé Robotics Initiative to develop a roadmap for an Automotive-Robotics Cluster Initiative in Michigan. Among the partners involved in this effort is the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). As part of its contribution to supporting entrepreneurs and business owners the SBA will host a small business resource center at the workshop to provide information about resources available through the SBA, DoD, and state and regional economic development authorities.
The conference, hosted by the Great Lakes Chapter of AUVSI, will be held in conjunction with the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research and Development Center Joint Center for Robotics, the National Automotive Center, the SBA, the DoD ’s Office of Small Business Programs, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and Automation Alley at Oakland University’s Oakland Center.
