The robotics unit of Swiss-based ABB is teaming up with Nvidia to improve training methods of industrial robots. ABB will use Nvidia’s Omniverse libraries of simulated ?data to make its training environments more realistic by incorporating typical factory floor details ?such as lighting, shadows, and textures in virtual simulations. ABB Robotics President Marc Segura said that ?robots’ often-limited information about the world around them can ?undermine accuracy, repeatability and speed in training scenarios. “The industrial sector ?needs ?physically accurate simulation to bridge the gap between ?virtual training and the real-world deployment of AI-driven robotics at scale,” observed Deepu Talla, vice president of ?robotics and edge AI at Nvidia.
