ABB Robotics, the robotics and discrete automation division of ABB, has invested in LandingAI to leverage the latter’s generative AI (gen AI) know-how for robotic imaginative and prescient enhancements.
This undisclosed funding, made by means of ABB Robotics Ventures, goals to drive developments in imaginative and prescient AI, making it extra environment friendly and user-friendly. The collaboration will combine LandingAI’s imaginative and prescient AI capabilities, together with its flagship product, LandingLens, into ABB’s software program suite.
LandingAI, which relies in California, US, focuses on agentic visible AI applied sciences that convert unstructured visible knowledge into actionable insights. Its platform permits fast deployment of imaginative and prescient functions with out intensive programming experience.
Based on ABB, LandingLens might scale back the time wanted for coaching and deploying imaginative and prescient AI techniques by as much as 80%. This effectivity permits system integrators and finish customers to independently retrain AI fashions for numerous functions, thereby enhancing operational flexibility.
ABB robotics and discrete automation president Sami Atiya stated: “This announcement is the most recent in our decade-long journey to innovate and commercialise AI, benefitting our prospects by enhancing robotic versatility and autonomy to increase using robots past conventional manufacturing.
“The demand for AI in robotics is pushed by the necessity for larger flexibility, quicker commissioning cycles and a scarcity of the specialist expertise wanted to programme and function robots.
“Our collaboration with LandingAI will imply set up and deployment time is finished in hours as an alternative of weeks, permitting extra companies to automate smarter, quicker and extra effectively.”
ABB goals to increase robotic adoption into sectors similar to logistics, healthcare, and meals and beverage. Presently, ABB Robotics is piloting LandingAI’s know-how in functions similar to item-picking, sorting, depalletising, and high quality inspection.
ABB Robotics presents a completely built-in AI coaching software inside its software program suite. This function will likely be accessible alongside RobotStudio, ABB’s simulation and programming software that features digital twin capabilities.
LandingAI CEO Dan Maloney stated: “AI is advancing shortly, creating many alternatives, but in addition requiring us to continue learning and adapting new expertise.
“By combining LandingAI’s imaginative and prescient AI capabilities with ABB’s robots and software program, we are able to make automation extra accessible. This makes it simpler for companies to deploy and scale clever robotic techniques which are sensible and helpful.”
In June 2025 at Snowflake Summit 2025, LandingAI introduced the launch of Agentic Doc Extraction.
This resolution goals to reinforce doc processing with layout-aware parsing and visible grounding strategies, surpassing conventional optical character recognition by permitting quick deployment with out intensive mannequin coaching or template necessities.
