last barriers to making industrial and physical AI a reality at a global scale by closing the sim-to-real gap,” said Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics. “For more than 50 years, ABB Robotics has led the evolution of intelligent industrial automation, from pioneering the first generation of fully electric industrial robots to advancing digital twin simulation through RobotStudio, and shaping a new area of autonomous and versatile mobile robots. Today’s announcement with
Combining RobotStudio – the software
programming, design and simulation suite – with the physically accurate simulation power of NVIDIA omniverse libraries will close technology’s long-standing ‘sim-to-real’ gap. Developers can simulate robots in digital twins and generate synthetic data to train their physical AI models, enabling businesses of all types and sizes to deploy AI-driven robotics for various industrial workflows. “Using NVIDIA accelerated computing and simulation technologies, we have removed the
The Global Compact unites over 26,000 companies and organisations from more than 160 countries, all committed to ten universally recognised principles covering human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption. “As an international company, we are
responsible not only for our employees, but also for our customers and the environment,” said ODU group managing director, Dr. Josef Leitner. “Joining the UN Global Compact is the next logical step on our mission to become ever more sustainable in our operations. Being part of that network strongly reflects our values.” For years, ODU has been implementing a wide range of measures that reflect its commitment to environmental, social and economic responsibility. By joining, ODU sends a clear signal to customers, partners, and the region, while strengthening its position in a market where sustainability is an increasingly important competitive factor.

NVIDIA brings physical AI to industry at scale.” Called RobotStudio HyperReality, the
resulting physically accurate simulations and foundation models are endlessly optimised with real-world data feedback continuously improving the system. These models can be used to train any number of ABB robots, anywhere in the world, with the reliability and accuracy demanded by industry. “The industrial sector needs physically
accurate simulation to bridge the gap between virtual training and the real-world deployment of AI-driven robotics at scale,” said Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI at NVIDIA. “Integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio brings advanced simulation and
accelerated computing to ABB Robotics’ unique virtual controller technology, accelerating how manufacturers of all sizes bring complex products to market.” By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries
into RobotStudio, ABB Robotics will deliver unprecedented robotics simulation and synthetic data generation capabilities that will allow intelligent robots to bridge this gap with up to 99% accuracy. ABB is 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. Combined with ABB Robotics’ Absolute Accuracy technology, which reduces positioning errors from 8-15mm to around 0.5mm, the company delivers precision in both virtual and physical environments, making it suited to high- precision industrial-grade applications. This innovation enables manufacturers to design, test and optimise production lines virtually, cutting setup and commissioning times by up to 80%, reducing costs by up to 40% by eliminating the need for physical prototypes, and accelerating time-to-market for complex products such as consumer electronics by 50%.
According to the company, Geomagic Freeform empowers designers to create complex, handcrafted-style sculptural and organic forms that are often too intricate for traditional CAD systems. Key applications include toy and packaging design, personalised surgical medical devices, orthotics & prosthetics, and mould and die
design.This enables its use in industries ranging from consumer goods to healthcare for project teams tasked with organic, irregular, 3D design of manufactured products. “This marks our first Geomagic Freeform release as part of Hexagon, and we’re thrilled to
continue delivering impactful releases for users worldwide,” said Kevin Atkins, product manager, Hexagon’s Portable Metrology Division. “With Haply Robotics integration and innovations like Python scripting, we’re making advanced 3D tools for organic and manufacturable design more powerful, intuitive, and accessible than ever.” The new Deform Selection tool enables designers to move, rotate or scale a selected region of a model while adjacent areas deform smoothly. For example, this makes it easy for a user to change the pose of a toy dinosaur’s head or change the orientation of a patient’s scanned wrist in seconds, saving 10 to 20 minutes of laborious step-by-step actions every time the task is needed. Building on Geomagic Freeform’s robust Dynabot automation capabilities, the addition of Python scripting unlocks access to a comprehensive library of automation-ready tools. Designers can now automate custom workflows without being programming experts using the extensive Geomagic API library. For example, after a cranial implant plate has been designed in Freeform, the mould required for an acrylic manufacturing process can be generated through a fully Python-automated workflow, reducing the mould design time from an hour to just minutes.
