ZURICH, Switzerland, Oct 1, 2025 – ABB Robotics introduced OmniCore EyeMotion, a vision-based system that lets OmniCore-powered robots use third-party cameras or sensors to recognize their surroundings and adapt in real time. The system supports complex applications by helping robots adapt to changing environments and operate optimally.
“Over the past decade, we have evolved AI vision to give robots ‘eyes’ that can see the world in 3D, but previously this required advanced camera hardware,” said Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics. “In one step, OmniCore EyeMotion grants any robot the ability to both see and understand the world around it, for a wide range of 2D and 3D vision-based applications, advancing autonomy and versatility.”
The new software uses a web interface with drag-and-drop sensors or cameras for image capture and recognition. It integrates with ABB’s RobotStudio, allowing faster setup and deployment. Commissioning time is reduced by up to 90% compared to custom-built solutions.
The OmniCore intelligent imaging system supports robot tasks such as item sorting and quality inspection. It applies across industries including automotive, electronics manufacturing, logistics, packaging, and food and beverage.
OmniCore EyeMotion works with ABB’s Automatic Path Planning Online to plan and execute collision-free paths around obstacles and moving objects. The system operates nonstop without human intervention, increasing autonomy and reducing cycle times by up to 50%.
Advanced Technologies for an Autonomous Versatile Future
By granting robots a power of sensing, perception and visual reasoning, OmniCore EyeMotion is another milestone in ABB Robotics’ journey towards Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR).
ABB’s robots will plan and perform diverse, complex tasks and without human intervention, by uniting vision, precision, speed, dexterity and mobility, through generative AI.
