ABB Has Also Piloted Systems Where Robots Respond To Natural Language Commands

- Leslie D'Monte

Robotics is transforming multiple sectors in India, particularly the automotive industry, fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence, generative AI, mechatronics, vision, and mobility, according to Sami Atiya, president of robotics and discrete automation at ABB Ltd.

Robots of the Switzerland-based electrification and automation company have painted about 65% of the cars manufactured in India, he said, adding that robotics is now capable of handling more complex tasks.

"In automotive, robots operate in structured settings. But using AI and vision, robots can now handle unpredictable tasks—like sorting and moving parcels of varying shapes and sizes in logistics centers, which has helped us move into construction, warehouses, logistics, pharma, and even agriculture," Atiya told Mint in an interview during his recent visit to India.

Further, since GenAI enhances the usability of robots, ABB has also piloted systems where robots respond to natural language commands.
