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.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

On the Greek island of Ithaca, archaeologists have found what may be a sanctuary dedicated to the legendary Odysseus, with inscriptions bearing his name and votive offerings that span from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic era.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

After two years of internal discussions, Paraguay has finally regulated the law that opens the country to foreign technology and service companies with tax incentives that promise to create thousands of jobs and change the economy.

About 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland, with houses forming a continuous row and narrow agricultural strips emerging behind them, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

Scientists have caught a star 450 light-years from Earth, only 200 years old, spewing gas and energy in bursts, and no one knows for sure what is happening with it.

Eight out of ten Brazilian families are in debt, and the historical record of 80.4% in March 2026 worries even those earning more than ten minimum wages, with almost 30% of their income already committed to debts.

It fell apart! The US and Iran fail to reach an agreement and global tension explodes — Vance’s exit from Pakistan raises alarms about Hormuz and the nuclear program.

ANEEL confirms green flag in April and Brazilians save up to R$ 23.61 per month on their electricity bill, but the second half of the year is already concerning with reservoirs below 28% in the southern part of the country.

After being stalled for seven years in the desert, the 1 km skyscraper in Saudi Arabia has resumed construction, rising one floor every three days, and is now on track to surpass the Burj Khalifa by 2028.
