RobotStudio®'s new capabilities
RobotStudio HyperReality extends ABB's RobotStudio by integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to close the long‑standing sim‑to‑real gap in industrial robotics, making physical AI deployable at scale. It enables manufacturers to simulate robots in physically-accurate digital twins and generate synthetic data to virtually prepare robots for real‑world production scenarios before deployment.
Using AI‑based learning models, including Vision-Language-Action models, robots can be trained in simulation to replicate demonstrated tasks, whilst validating their behavior across multiple virtual variations, to reduce reliance on physical prototypes and on‑site testing.
Combined with ABB’s virtual controller, which runs the same firmware as real robots, RobotStudio HyperReality ensures near‑perfect correlation between simulation and reality, allowing manufacturers to commission faster, scale production more reliably, and accelerate time‑to‑market with industrial‑grade accuracy.
- Enhances its existing simulation and programming foundation with photorealistic, physics-accurate environments
- Enables it to create rich synthetic data workflows that capture industrial complexities
- Expedites AI-ready virtual commissioning and physical AI model training – setting it up to handle real-world manufacturing variability from start to finish
The Challenges
-
The Sim to Real Gap
Closing the longstanding gap between virtual training and real-world deployment
-
Complexity of AI at industrial scale
Existing AI and simulation approaches are not ready for industrial deployment at scale
-
Long Commissioning and Set Up Times
Commissioning and setup are time consuming and inefficient – this is a key bottleneck for manufacturers
-
Dependence on Physical Prototypes
Manufacturers rely heavily on physical prototypes, slowing development
-
Time to Market Pressure
Time to market is too slow for high demand industries
Benefits
Close the Sim-to-Real Gap with Up to 99% Accuracy
<p>By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into RobotStudio and running a virtual controller with the same firmware as real robots, RobotStudio HyperReality delivers near perfect correlation between simulation and real-world performance — achieving up to 99% accuracy from virtual training to deployment.</p>Cut Set Up and Commissioning Time by Up to 80%
<p>Manufacturers can design, test, and optimize production lines virtually, dramatically reducing the need for on-site trial and error. This shortens set up and commissioning phases by up to 80%, enabling faster production ramp up.</p>Reduce Engineering and Production Costs by Up to 40%
<p>By eliminating the need for many physical prototypes and repeated physical tests, RobotStudio HyperReality reduces development and production costs by up to 40%, making advanced automation more economically viable.</p>Accelerate Time to Market by 50%
<p>Parallel engineering in the virtual world allows product and process design to happen simultaneously. This accelerates time to market for complex products — such as consumer electronics — by up to 50%.</p>Train Robots Virtually Using Synthetic Data
<p>Robots can be trained in simulation using synthetic data across multiple scenarios before entering production. This virtual preparation reduces debugging effort, improves reliability from day one, and enables AI based imitation learning without relying on extensive physical training cycles. It readies physical AI for industrial real world deployment.</p>Scale Production Faster and More Reliably
<p>By closing the sim to real gap and ensuring industrial grade accuracy, RobotStudio HyperReality fundamentally changes how quickly and reliably manufacturers can scale production globally, supporting consistent deployment across lines, sites, and robot fleets.</p>What’s New — At a Glance Coming to RobotStudio
