Today marks a major step for industrial automation. ABB Robotics and @nvidia have closed the sim-to-real gap - achieving 99% accuracy with RobotStudio® HyperReality. Design, test and optimize production lines virtually with unprecedented confidence.

🚨 BREAKING: @ABBRobotics + @nvidia close the sim-to-real gap with 99% accuracy! 👾 ABB Robotics is integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio to deliver physical AI for industry, closing the gap from virtual training to real-world deployment with up to 99% accuracy. RobotStudio HyperReality, available second half of 2026, will fundamentally change how quickly manufacturers can scale production: reducing costs by up to 40%, accelerating time-to-market by 50%, and cutting setup and commissioning times by up to 80%. For decades, the deficit between simulation accuracy and real-world lighting, materials, and environments has limited manufacturers' ability to design advanced manufacturing processes in the virtual world. The only robot manufacturer with a virtual controller running the same firmware as the hardware, ensuring near-perfect correlation between simulation and real-world performance. The system uses physically accurate simulations and foundation models endlessly optimized with real-world data feedback. These models can train any number of ABB robots anywhere in the world with industrial-grade reliability. Foxconn is using RobotStudio HyperReality for consumer electronics assembly. Assembly robots are trained virtually using synthetic data to perfect multiple production processes across various scenarios, then moved to production lines with 99% accuracy. This eliminates physical training and tests, reducing setup times and costs. Workr is demonstrating AI-powered robotic systems at NVIDIA GTC 2026. Built on ABB technology, trained with synthetic data using NVIDIA Omniverse, deployed without operators needing programming knowledge . 🚨 I’ll be onsite in San Jose during GTC 2026, and will be showing all the cool stuff that ABB Robotics prepared this year!

@IlirAliu_ Spot on @IlirAliu_! See you at GTC next week 👊

People who've never set foot in a factory will never understand... I watched this three times. For decades, robotics simulation has promised faster deployment. But factories still had to build the real cell to see if it actually worked. Which meant expensive physical prototypes, weeks or months!!! of commissioning, constant surprises between simulation and reality That “sim-to-real gap” has quietly been one of the biggest bottlenecks in manufacturing automation. And it’s exactly what is changing. Today, @ABBRobotics announced a partnership with @NVIDIARobotics aimed at closing this gap through the new RobotStudio HyperReality platform: Simulation and real robot behavior can match with near-perfect accuracy. That means manufacturers can design, test, and validate entire production lines before a single robot is installed on the factory floor. The implications are massive: • up to 80% faster setup and commissioning • roughly 40% lower costs by removing physical prototypes • about 50% faster time-to-market for new production lines In other words: Factories can move from trial-and-error engineering to software-driven manufacturing design. Production lines become something you build and validate digitally first. Then deploy physically once everything already works. For an industry that still measures deployment timelines in months or years, this is a major shift. It changes how automation projects are planned, how factories are designed, and how fast manufacturing can adapt to new products. Physical AI actually becomes deployable at an industrial scale. I’ll be at GTC in San Jose next week to see and talk to manufacturers and robotics engineers. If you are into manufacturing like I am, hit me up; my DMs are open!
