Celebrating Innovation: Past Milestones to Future Breakthroughs

As we mark our 50th anniversary, let's take a moment to reflect on our journey:

From the world's first microprocessor-controlled robot to today's AI-driven solutions, ABB Robotics has been transforming industries for half a century.

As we celebrate our past, we're excited about the future. Autonomous, mobile, and collaborative robots are opening new frontiers in automation.

How has robotics impacted your work or industry? We'd love to hear your experiences.

OmniCore™ Challenge: Redefining Robotic Precision

At our recent Robotics Connect event, we unveiled the OmniCore™ Challenge, celebrating 50 years of innovation with a glimpse into the future.

Building on our Fanta Can challenge from 15 years ago, the OmniCore™ Challenge showcases a new era of robotic speed, precision, and synchronization. It integrates AI, sensors, cloud, and edge computing, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in automation. 

The demonstration caught the attention of industry leaders, including Elon Musk, highlighting the exciting potential of robotics.

What aspect of robotic control advancement excites you most? Speed, precision, or AI integration?

AI Startup Challenge: Nurturing Tomorrow's Innovators

Our AI Startup Challenge attracted over 100 innovative entries across three key areas:

●       Prompt-based Natural Language Programming

●       Skill Learning & Acquisition

●       Planning & Decision Making

The goal? Creating smarter, more adaptable robots to transform industries globally.

Winners will be announced in October, with the top startup collaborating directly with ABB Robotics.

Discover from Gregory Hitz how previous winners like Sevensense Robotics have grown through this opportunity.

EeStairs: Revolutionising Production with Robotic Welding

See how Dutch staircase manufacturer EeStairs transformed their operations with ABB's robotic welding system:

●       75% reduction in production time

●       4x increase in daily output

●       Significant improvement in worker safety

“Robots make people think of a product series, but the 1m2™ is definitely not a serial product because its dimensions constantly change,” said Martijn Cluistra , Operational Director with EeStairs . “That’s why it’s special that we are now able to create this product with robot technology.”
