ABB Robotics Launches OmniCore EyeMotion for Vision-Powered Autonomy

ABB Robotics has launched OmniCore^TM EyeMotion that enables any OmniCore-powered robot to recognize its surroundings using any third-party camera or sensor and adapt in real time, even in complex applications.

“Over the past decade, we have evolved AI vision to give robots ‘eyes’ that can see the world in 3D, but previously this required advanced camera hardware,” said Marc Segura, president, ABB Robotics. “In one step, OmniCore EyeMotion grants any robot the ability to both see and understand theworld around it, for a wide range of 2D and 3D vision-based applications, advancing autonomy and versatility.”

Designed for users of all skill levels with a simple web interface through drag and drop sensors or cameras, the new software provides fast image acquisition and recognition. It is fully integrated in ABB’s software suite, complementing RobotStudio®, the world’s most popular programming and simulation tool, to enable rapid set-up and deployment. It achieves a commissioning time reduction of up to 90 percent, compared to custom solutions.

OmniCore EyeMotion will transform a wide range of robot tasks, from item sorting to quality inspection, across sectors from automotive and electronics manufacturing, to logistics, packaging, and food and beverage.

In more complex applications, OmniCore EyeMotion can be combined with ABB’s unique Automatic Path Planning Online, which can plan and execute the optimum, collision-free paths around obstacles and moving objects in real time, continually and without human intervention, increasing autonomy and reducing cycle times by up to 50 percent.

Advanced Technologies for an Autonomous Versatile Future

By granting robots a greater power of sensing, perception and visual reasoning, OmniCore EyeMotion is another milestone in ABB Robotics’ journey towards Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR^TM).

ABB’s next generation robots will autonomously plan and perform diverse, complex tasks in real time and without human intervention, by uniting vision, precision, speed, dexterity and mobility, through the power of generative AI.
