ABB accelerates the use of robots with the use of Visual Artificial Intelligence in Robotics
ABB makes strategic investment in LandingAI to advance visual AI capabilities in robotics
With this step, which will reduce the training and commissioning time of visual artificial intelligence applications in robotics technology by up to 80 percent, the use of robots will accelerate in dynamic sectors such as logistics, health and food & beverage.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration represents a significant step towards ABB Robotics’ vision of Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR™).
ABB Robotics took a strategic step to accelerate the transformation of visual artificial intelligence technologies in robotics technology and invested in California-based LandingAI. This investment, which aims to make visual artificial intelligence in robotics technology faster, more intuitive and accessible to a wider range of users, is a first in the field. This strategic collaboration, which will enable ABB to integrate LandingAI’s artificial intelligence-based image processing capabilities such as LandingLens™ into its software package, is an important milestone in the company’s journey towards fully autonomous and versatile robotic technology.
ABB Türkiye Robotics and Manufacturing Automation Business Line President Emre Tural“As ABB, we continue to innovate to offer our customers an experience beyond the traditional use of robots by increasing the versatility and autonomy of robots. The demand for artificial intelligence in robotics stems from the need for more flexibility, shortening of commissioning cycles and the lack of specialized skills required to program and operate robots. With this collaboration, which is a new stage in our ten-year journey to commercialize artificial intelligence with innovative solutions, installation and commissioning times will be completed in hours instead of weeks. With this strategic investment in our country “We are happy to quickly meet the need for manufacturing automation and deliver smarter and more efficient automation solutions to our customers.”
ABB made this investment through ABB Robotics Ventures, ABB Robotics’ strategic venture capital unit that aims to invest and foster collaborations with innovative early-stage companies that shape the future of robotics and automation.
Training speed of visual artificial intelligence systems increases with LandingLens
LandingLens, developed by LandingAI, provides convenience to users by quickly training visual artificial intelligence systems that can recognize and respond to objects, patterns or problems, without requiring complex programming or artificial intelligence expertise.
Thanks to LandingLens, ABB Robotics will reduce the training and commissioning time of visual artificial intelligence applications in robotics by up to 80 percent. Users will be able to train this artificial intelligence integrated into robots according to new scenarios. This will provide a much higher level of flexibility, accelerating the use of robots beyond traditional manufacturing, especially in dynamic sectors such as logistics, healthcare and food & beverage.
