ABB expands AI-powered autonomy to Flexley Mover mobile robot

POSTED 05/08/2025

• ABB extends management in AI-powered self reliant cell robots, equipping its Flexley Mover with 3D Visual SLAM navigation and user-friendly AMR Studio programming machine
• Combination of AI and imaginative and prescient permits extra efficient, self reliant operations for automotive clients in production line offer and intralogistics
• AMR Studio machine removes boundaries to automation, enabling hasty and simple mercurial management by experts and rookies alike

ABB is extending its portfolio of fully self reliant cell robots by equipping its Flexley Mover® P604 with 3D visual simultaneous localization and mapping (Visual SLAM) navigation and user-friendly AMR Studio® programming machine. The originate marks one more milestone in ABB’s lope towards self reliant cell robots that are extra versatile, efficient and more uncomplicated to exhaust.

“ABB has perfected robotic eyes, through 3D AI imaginative and prescient skills; fingers, through evolved force-sensing, precision dexterity and machine studying; and self reliant mobility, through 3D mapping”, stated Marc Segura, President for ABB Robotics.  “Fusing these applied sciences presents our robots a total and dynamic figuring out of the enviornment around them, enabling safer, extra vivid and self reliant operations for our clients across automotive, manufacturing and logistics.”

ABB’s Flexley Mover is designed to raise and transport objects across a unfold of payloads in a unfold of settings, enabling greater efficiencies in applications including intralogistics and kitting operations.

Appropriate to interior 10mm, the positioning skills is matched to an AI studying algorithm that permits every robotic to generate its have maps of its workspace and securely fragment this info with various robots in its mercurial, to allow fully self reliant, versatile and scalable navigation alongside human workers, with no want for extra infrastructure.

Straightforward programming with AMR Studio

The capabilities of 3D AI imaginative and prescient are extra amplified by ABB’s innovative AMR Studio machine, which presents a user-friendly platform for constructing and configuring routes and projects for AMRs, from standalone items through to complete fleets.

With simplified programming and graphical interfaces, the machine reduces commissioning time by up to twenty p.c as in contrast to used programs, with doubtless cost savings of up to 30 p.c.

Right through this year, ABB will continue to level of interest on fusing its precision hardware with synthetic intelligence and machine, towards extra autonomy and flexibility.

Marc Segura concluded: “We’re in a new skills of robotics innovation. Robots that can perhaps perhaps cease extra issues, in extra locations, and cease it faster, safer and smarter at as soon as initiate the door to greater productiveness and set away with the must put money into specialist skills or infrastructure.  With our 50-year heritage because the unusual robotics innovator, we remain at the forefront of now not correct constructing the preferred applied sciences, but additionally engineering them for industrial exhaust, at scale.”

P604 Visual SLAM & AMR Studio will doubtless be presented by ABB at Automate Tradeshow, Sales region 2632, which takes build from May perhaps well 12 to fifteen, in Huntington Set, Detroit, Michigan, US.
