ABB Robotics invests in LandingAI to accelerate vision AI - The Robot Report

ABB Robotics has invested in LandingAI through ABB Robotics Ventures to accelerate and simplify vision artificial intelligence (AI) for robotics. This collaboration aims to reduce robot vision AI training and deployment time by up to 80% using LandingAI’s pre-trained models, smart data workflows, and no-code tools. ABB highlights that this advancement will enable installation and deployment in hours rather than weeks, addressing the growing demand for AI-driven robotics that require greater flexibility, faster commissioning, and fewer specialist skills. The integration will embed LandingAI’s flagship product, LandingLens, into ABB’s software suite, making vision AI more intuitive and accessible to a broader user base. LandingAI, founded by AI expert Andrew Ng, specializes in agentic visual AI technologies that help users transition AI projects from proof of concept to production without complex programming. Its technologies include tools for extracting actionable intelligence from unstructured visual data, enhancing efficiency at scale. The partnership is expected to unlock “autonomous versatile robotics” (AVR), enabling system integrators
