ABB Robotics delivers new industry-ready physical AI at Automate 2026

  • ABB Robotics’ brings a wide range of demonstrations showcasing the six capabilities at the core of Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR™)
  • The first showcase of the software stack behind ABB Robotics’ Physical AI toolchain—from simulation to industrial-grade, real-world execution
  • Experience speak-through technology, which redefinines how people interact with robots and extends ABB Robotics’ leadership in AI-enabled, human-centric robotics
  • Debut of ABB Robotics new, high-speed, higher payload PoWa™ cobot family

ABB Robotics will bring physical AI to life at Automate 2026 (Booth #1241), featuring a wide range of demonstrations, including the debut of its Physical AI Toolchain. This showcases a software stack spanning data generation, training and validation, deployment and optimization— to enable industrial-grade accuracy in robot AI models.

“For decades, industrial robots have operated within fixed, pre-programmed routines,” said Marc Segura, President of ABB Robotics. “Now physical AI fundamentally changes how robots operate and the value they create. Through Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR), we have been equipping robots with new capabilities: eyes to see, hands to handle and the mobility to move through their environment, enabling them to perform faster, safer and smarter across a broader range of applications. Now, with the debut of our Physical AI Toolchain, we’re enabling robots to be trained faster and more accurately using simulated, synthetic or real data, bridging simulation and real-world performance with unprecedented precision. We look forward to revealing more about this at Automate.”

Following ABB Robotics’ partnership with NVIDIA in March 2026, which closed the sim-to-real gap with RobotStudio® HyperReality, ABB Robotics will reveal more details about the software stack behind its Physical AI Toolchain at Automate 2026. This training process enables connected robots to learn from fully simulated, synthetic and real-world data and apply it to real-world operations with industrial-grade accuracy.
