OmniCore EyeMotion lets robots adapt to complex environments in real time, says ABB - The Robot Report

ABB Robotics has launched OmniCore EyeMotion, a new software solution that enables OmniCore-powered robots to recognize and adapt to their surroundings in real time using any third-party camera or sensor. This advancement allows robots to perform complex 2D and 3D vision-based tasks without requiring specialized camera hardware. Designed for ease of use with a simple drag-and-drop web interface, EyeMotion integrates fully with ABB’s RobotStudio programming tool, significantly reducing commissioning time by up to 90%. The system supports a wide range of applications across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, packaging, and food and beverage, handling tasks like item sorting and quality inspection. In more complex scenarios, OmniCore EyeMotion can be combined with ABB’s Automatic Path Planning Online to enable collision-free navigation around obstacles, potentially reducing cycle times by up to 50%. This innovation is part of ABB’s broader strategy to advance “autonomous versatile robotics” (AVR), aiming for robots that autonomously plan and execute diverse tasks in real time
