Welcome to Alabama RTP

Welcome to the Alabama Robotics Technology Park (RTP) website.  Included in the “pages” of this site is information on the RTP’s mission, goals, strategic plans, related publications, and an animated ‘drive by’ of the Park.

The vision of Alabama Governor Bob Riley, the RTP is  a collaboration between the state of Alabama, Calhoun Community College, AIDT, and robotics industry leaders across the nation.  When completed, the RTP will consist of three individual training facilities each targeted to a specific industry need.  The three buildings will have an investment of approximately $73 million, including robotics equipment.

Phase I: The Robotic Maintenance Training Center will house an industry training program where technicians will be trained to work on robotic machinery. The 52,000 square foot facility will be staffed by trainers supplied by top robot builders and will be home to several major robotics and automation brands.

Phase II: The Advanced Technology Research and Development Center will feature a test facility for companies developing leading edge robotics technology.  The 30,000 square foot facility will be used by NASA and the U.S. Army Missile Command for the purpose of research, development and testing of leading edge robotics used for military projects, space exploration and manufacturing processes.  The structure will have appropriate infrastructure to support these activities with substantial outdoor areas for testing in a variety of environments

Phase III: The Integration and Entrepreneurial Center will be a collaborative consolidation of technology involving higher education and industry.  This facility will allow companies to build and adapt robots for new industries.  Start-up plants will be able to set up manufacturing lines to integrate software and equipment, test systems and train maintenance and production staff.
