ABB and LandingAI Partner on Generative AI for Vision

A Game-Changing Collaboration for Robotics

In a truly groundbreaking move for the robotics industry, ABB has made a strategic investment in California-based LandingAI.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration is set to transform vision AI, making it faster, more intuitive, and accessible to a much broader range of users.
The core of this partnership involves integrating LandingAI’s cutting-edge vision AI capabilities, including its powerful platform LandingLens, directly into ABB Robotics’ own software suite.
This collaboration is a major milestone in ABB's long-term ambition to create robots that are autonomous and extremely flexible.

Smarter, Faster Automation for All

This exciting new collaboration arrives at the right moment.
"The demand for more flexibility, quicker commissioning times and limited availability of specialist programming and operating robot skills is driving the need for robotics AI," said Sami Atiya, President of ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation.
Therefore, this partnership is going to face these challenges in a head-on manner.
With the integration of LandingAI's technology, ABB Robotics hopes to reduce robot vision AI training and deployment time by a staggering 80 percent.
This will make it possible for more businesses to make their processes smarter, faster, and more efficient.

Democratizing AI and Unleashing Versatility

LandingAI's LandingLens platform is revolutionary.
It allows for rapid training of vision AI systems to recognize and respond to objects, patterns, or flaws without the need for complex programming or deep AI expertise.
Installed, system integrators and users can readily retrain the AI themselves for new conditions, providing a whole new level of flexibility.
As such, this is an emphatic move towards robotics adoption that transcends its traditional manufacturing territory and into far more dynamic environments like logistics, health care, and food and beverage.
ABB is already pushing hard on piloting and rolling out this technology on current applications like item picking, sorting, and quality inspection.

A Bold Vision for the Future

"With the combination of LandingAI's vision AI technology and ABB's robots and software, we can democratize automation," stated Dan Maloney, CEO of LandingAI.
This partnership streamlines the deployment and scale of smart robotic systems that are both functional and beneficial to companies.
As part of this far-reaching vision, ABB has also invested in a venture capital with its strategic business unit, ABB Robotics Ventures, dedicated to shaping the robotics future.
Beyond that, ABB Robotics will be the only robotics provider that will offer a completely integrated AI training tool as part of its software package.
This will be a powerful addition to ABB's programming and simulation software, RobotStudio, already featuring digital twin functionality to further minimize commissioning.
