Event Summary

ABB and Nvidia have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate Nvidia Omniverse libraries into ABB's RobotStudio software platform, creating RobotStudio HyperReality. This initiative aims to bridge the 'sim-to-real' gap in industrial robotics, allowing manufacturers to train robots in highly accurate digital environments before deployment. The system is projected to reduce production setup and commissioning times by up to 80%, lower costs by 40%, and shorten time-to-market by 50%. Foxconn is already piloting the technology for consumer electronics assembly, and WORKR is developing systems for small and medium-sized manufacturers in the United States. ABB is also evaluating the integration of Nvidia's Jetson edge computing platform into its Omnicore robot controllers for real-time AI processing. The full commercial rollout of RobotStudio HyperReality is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
