At ABB we’re using AI to develop robots that fuse vision and natural language to handle tasks such as picking and placing objects just by speaking. Instead of a world where humans must learn the language of robots, we will soon be in a world where robots understand our language. In this demonstration, made in collaboration with Zheijang University, China, you can see how a robot translates voice commands into concrete actions and arranges coloured cubes. Programming a robot with speech will simp

Just how simple can AI‑enhanced robot programming get? Our Research & Development team shows how we’ve simplified complex programming into three steps: See – Speak – Do. The robot perceives its surroundings, understands spoken instructions in natural language, and executes tasks autonomously in real time. Whether assembling a motor or automating lab work, this multimodal interaction makes robotics accessible to everyone. At ABB Robotics, we see this as the future: Autonomous Versatile Robotics (
