Technology And Artificial Intelligence Open New Paths In The Industry

As we enter 2024, ABB, a global leader in automation and technology solutions, is exploring new horizons with the integration of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Marc Segura, the President of the company’s Robotics Division, highlights three pillars that will guide the development of AI-driven robotic solutions this year, marking ABB’s continued expansion into previously unexplored segments of robotic automation.

With the promise of redefining the future of industrial robotics, ABB’s vision for 2024 focuses on the transformative role of AI, from advanced autonomy of mobile robots and cobots to enabling innovative applications in new sectors, thus broadening opportunities for learning and professional development.

AI-Enhanced Autonomy In Robotic Applications

The accelerated evolution of AI is establishing new paradigms regarding industrial robotics. With the implementation of advanced technologies like ABB’s Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (Visual SLAM), robots now exhibit unprecedented capabilities for navigation and mapping in complex environments, paving the way for significant operational efficiencies in flexible factories, warehouses, and laboratories.

Expansion Of Robotics With AI In New Sectors

Beyond operational improvements in traditionally automated sectors, AI-enabled robotics is venturing into fields previously unexplored by automation. Areas such as healthcare, life sciences, and retail are beginning to glimpse the potential of robotics to optimize processes and enhance efficiency. In the construction sector, for instance, the introduction of collaborative robots promises to revolutionize productivity, workplace safety, and sustainable building practices.

“AI-powered robots have a transformative role in challenging sectors like construction,” explains Segura. AI enables these robots to perform critical tasks with greater accuracy and speed, contributing to more sustainable construction and reducing the need for material transportation, which aligns perfectly with modern sustainability practices.

New Opportunities For Education And Employment With Robots

Significant advancements in AI and robotics are also closing the skills gap in automation and making technology more accessible to a wider audience. AI is simplifying robot programming, making it possible to instruct machines using natural language, which opens new employment prospects and helps mitigate the shortage of skilled labor.

“The barrier of lacking necessary skills to program and support robots is being overcome,” points out Segura. “With advancements in natural language programming driven by AI, we will see a new dynamic in human interactions with robots.”

50 Years Of Innovation In ABB Robotics

This year marks the 50th anniversary of ABB’s robotic innovation, a journey that began in 1974 with the introduction of the world’s first fully electric commercial robot. Today, ABB continues to lead the way in robotic automation, helping companies of all sizes and sectors become more resilient, flexible, and efficient. With around 11,000 employees in over 100 locations worldwide, ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation offers a comprehensive portfolio that encompasses robots, autonomous mobile robots, and machine automation solutions, all designed and orchestrated by software that creates value, supporting customers in the transition to the connected and collaborative factory of the future.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Three records at once: a 23,163-ton ship was moved on 880 axle lines, 3,520 wheels, and also transferred to three barges with 26,900 tons on wheels.

The Lobito Corridor, a railway that cuts through Africa to transport copper from the interior to the Atlantic, is starting to take shape.

Havan, the retailer from Santa Catarina owned by Luciano Hang, will offer a contract of R$ 40,000 to whoever produces the best video in tribute to the company’s 40th anniversary, in a national influencer contest open to anyone with a profile on Instagram or TikTok.

The USA looks at mountains of accumulated nuclear waste and considers transforming used fuel into a new energy source, in a plan that could reduce waste, reuse uranium, and supply long-lasting military systems.

Federal Police helicopter drops 12,000 kg of seeds in Brazil in an aerial reforestation operation that transforms seed bags into green rain and aims to plant 100 million trees by 2030, starting with areas in Paraná.

In the Xinjiang desert, China erects a giant chemical plant over 390 billion tons of coal, deploys 300 driverless trucks to work nonstop, and uses robotic arms that swap batteries in 6 minutes to reduce dependence on oil.

The spaceplane that promises to take off from a runway, reach orbit with up to five people, return in just 48 hours, and repeat 100 missions per vehicle: the Radian One aims for on-demand operation in 90 minutes and attempts to turn the “Holy Grail” of space aviation into commercial reality.

The Galaxy A27, Samsung’s new affordable mid-range device, is getting closer to hitting the market after receiving FCC certification in the United States, with a launch expected in the second half of 2026. According to leaks, its specifications include a Snapdragon chip and a 50 MP camera.
