Barcelona, Spain, March 9, 2026: ABB Robotics has introduced it’s integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into ABB Robotics’ RobotStudio® to assist producers deploy bodily AI in genuine international robotics programs.
Marc Segura, President, ABB Robotics, stated:
“The use of NVIDIA speeded up computing and simulation applied sciences, we’ve got rid of the closing boundaries to creating commercial and bodily AI a fact at an international scale by means of ultimate the sim-to-real hole. For greater than 50 years, ABB Robotics has led the evolution of clever commercial automation, from pioneering the primary era of totally electrical commercial robots to advancing virtual dual simulation thru RobotStudio® and shaping a brand new space of self sustaining and flexible cell robots. Nowadays’s announcement with NVIDIA brings bodily AI to business at scale.”

Referred to as RobotStudio HyperReality, the ensuing bodily correct simulations and basis fashions forever optimized with real-world information comments frequently bettering the machine. Those fashions can be utilized to coach any choice of ABB robots, anyplace on this planet, with the reliability and accuracy demanded by means of business.
Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI, NVIDIA, stated:
“The Business sector wishes bodily correct simulation to bridge the distance between digital coaching and the real-world deployment of AI-driven robotics at scale. Integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio brings complex simulation and speeded up computing to ABB Robotics’ distinctive digital controller generation, accelerating how producers of all sizes convey advanced merchandise to marketplace.”

Ultimate the ‘sim-to-real’ hole
The long-standing deficit between simulation accuracy and real-world lights, fabrics and environments is referred to as the ‘sim-to-real’ hole. For many years, this hole has restricted the power of producers to design and increase complex production processes within the digital international.
Via integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio, ABB Robotics will ship unheard of robotics simulation and artificial information era functions that may permit clever robots to bridge this hole with as much as 99 p.c accuracy. ABB is the one robotic producer with a digital controller working the similar firmware because the {hardware}, making sure near-perfect correlation between simulation and real-world efficiency. Mixed with ABB Robotics’ Absolute Accuracy generation, which reduces positioning mistakes from 8–15 mm to round 0.5 mm, ABB delivers unrivaled precision in each digital and bodily environments, making it suited for high-precision industrial-grade programs. This innovation permits producers to design, take a look at, and optimize manufacturing traces just about, slicing setup and commissioning occasions by means of as much as 80 p.c, decreasing prices by means of as much as 40 p.c by means of getting rid of the desire for bodily prototypes, and accelerating time-to-market for advanced merchandise corresponding to shopper electronics by means of 50 p.c.[1]

ABB Robotics may be assessing the prospective to combine the NVIDIA Jetson edge computing platform into its Omnicore controller to reach real-time AI inference on the edge for its intensive robotic portfolio. The announcement builds upon ABB Robotics’ long-standing paintings with NVIDIA, together with the former integration of NVIDIA Jetson into ABB Robotics’ VSLAM self sustaining cell robots in addition to the improvement of gigawatt-scale AI information facilities.
Actual-world programs, nowadays
RobotStudio HyperReality will serve commercial shoppers at any scale, throughout a breadth of industries and programs, with choose consumers already checking out its functions forward of a complete free up to ABB Robotics’ 60,000 RobotStudio consumers international in the second one part of 2026.

Foxconn, the sector’s biggest electronics contract producer, is piloting the primary joint use case in shopper electronics meeting. Automating the meeting of a tiny piece in shopper electronics is difficult, as a couple of software variants require other manufacturing strategies and the sophisticated steel construction calls for actual pick-and-place and meeting keep an eye on, in addition to fine-tuned setup, regularly hard further debugging time and engineering sources. The use of RobotStudio HyperReality, Foxconn’s meeting robots are educated just about, the use of artificial information to splendid a couple of real-world manufacturing processes in more than a few situations, ahead of transferring them to the manufacturing line with 99 p.c accuracy. Via optimizing manufacturing traces just about, Foxconn will scale back set-up occasions and prices by means of getting rid of bodily coaching and assessments, and boost up time-to-market for shopper electronics.
Dr. Zhe Shi, Leader Virtual Officer, Foxconn, stated:
“Precision is the whole thing in shopper electronics production and till now, this degree of accuracy and constancy simply wasn’t imaginable in simulation and virtual twins. We’re extremely all in favour of the possibility of ABB Robotics and NVIDIA’s collaboration, which permits parallel engineering for higher designs, sooner manufacturing ramp up and larger product evolution thru complex AI inference and figuring out.”
