ABB Robotics Names Winners of its AI-Startup Challenge

ABB Robotics has named T-Robotics and Mbodi winners of its 2024 ABB Robotics AI Startup Challenge, aimed at advancing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for industrial robotics.  T-Robotics has developed breakthrough physical AI models that allow operators to program robots through natural conversation, promising to significantly reduce programming time while ensuring optimal performance. 

“The convergence of robotics and physical AI will transform how manufacturing operates," says T-Robotics founder Asad Tirmizi.”

Mbodi’s AI platform introduces real-time skill acquisition capabilities, enabling robots to learn and adapt to new tasks on the fly, through written and spoken natural language and demonstration.  The technology will make robotic automation accessible to businesses of all sizes, particularly those seeking flexible solutions for high-mix, low-volume production. 

“We’re augmenting the industrial robotics experience through cutting-edge generative AI that fulfils evolving customer needs," says Sebastian Peralta, co-founder and CEO of Mbodi.
