ABB Robotics introduces a Physical AI Toolchain for data generation and training at Automate 2026

ABB Robotics/Industrial robots and cobots

ABB presented its Physical AI Toolchain at Automate 2026: software for generating synthetic data, training, validating and deploying AI models on industrial robots. The toolchain lets robots learn from simulated, synthetic and real-world data simultaneously, bridging the sim-to-reality gap for autonomous versatile robotics.

• Generates and validates AI models from simulated, synthetic and real-world data to accelerate robot deployment.
• RobotStudio HyperReality integrates NVIDIA Omniverse for realistic simulation and synthetic training data.
• Six core AVR capabilities: human-machine interaction, sensing, autonomous learning, motion control, navigation, dexterity.
• Demonstrated on new PoWa cobot family and GoFa surface-finishing applications; full release targets 60,000 users.
