At NVIDIA GTC, Comau, KUKA, and KION showcased physical AI advances spanning robot simulation, virtual factory design, AI-enabled control, and warehouse automation.
The expanded CVD Series adds two- and four-axis EtherCAT-compatible stepper motor drivers, giving system designers greater flexibility for multi-axis motion control.
As manufacturers face growing automation skills needs, FANUC expands training capacity in Michigan and ABB develops a robotics and physical AI certificate program.
While mechanical wear in rotating machinery may be obvious over time, electrical faults can also cause bearings to fail. Unfortunately, the symptoms can look surprisingly similar.
ABB Robotics introduces AI Robot Trainer for its OmniCore EyeMotion platform, alongside the new IRB 1700 and IRB 1700ID industrial robots engineered for precision manufacturing.
The planned OnLogic acquisition would expand Omron’s edge computing capabilities and help manufacturers run AI workloads closer to industrial equipment.
The ClearPath NEMA 17 Integrated EtherCAT servo motors feature a compact, all-in-one motor, drive, and encoder design offering high-speed synchronized motion.
