One month after the official launch during Tech Week Grand Rapids, a local supplier is now part of Blue Spark. USAMR, a Grand Rapids-based autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and warehouse automation supplier, has officially moved in to Blue Spark.
Blue Spark is a space in which industry partners, students, and faculty can collaborate to bring ideas to life. As part of Blue Spark, USAMR aims to show that accessible, high-quality robotics can come from the United States, and specifically West Michigan, with the help of PCE students and faculty. PCE students will get to experience real-world robotics work as they work alongside USAMR to create, innovate, and prototype AMRs.
