ABB Robotics has invested in California-based LandingAI to accelerate the transformation of vision AI, making it faster, more intuitive, and accessible to a broader range of users. This collaboration will integrate LandingAI’s vision AI capabilities, such as LandingLens™, into ABB Robotics’ software suite, marking another milestone in ABB’s journey toward truly autonomous and versatile robots.
LandingAI’s LandingLens is a vision AI platform that enables the rapid training of vision AI systems to recognize and respond to objects, patterns, or defects without complex programming or AI expertise. Through this collaboration, ABB Robotics intends to reduce robot vision AI training and deployment time by up to 80 percent. Once deployed, system integrators and end users can retrain the AI for new scenarios on their own. The vision is to scale robot adoption in dynamic environments beyond traditional manufacturing, especially in fast-moving sectors such as logistics, healthcare, and food and beverage. ABB is already piloting LandingAI’s technology and actively working to integrate it into existing vision AI applications, including item picking, sorting, depalletizing, and quality inspection.
ABB Robotics offers a fully integrated AI training tool within its software suite. It will be available alongside ABB’s powerful simulation and programming tool, RobotStudio, which features digital twin capabilities to further simplify commissioning.
As part of the collaboration, ABB has made a venture capital investment through ABB Robotics Ventures, the strategic venture capital unit of ABB Robotics. Financial details of the investment were not disclosed.
