Advanced eyes for any robot

OmniCore™  EyeMotion gives any OmniCore-powered ABB robot powerful sensing and perception capabilities. Its smart, hardware-agnostic software toolbox adds vision capabilities to our RAPID programming language, working with any camera or sensor, and with any ABB robot. 

 

With OmniCore EyeMotion, customers can easily create vision programs by dragging and dropping functional blocks within an intuitive interface, enabling fast image acquisition and accurate recognition. 

 

Fully integrated in RobotStudio®, it enables rapid setup and deployment, cutting commissioning time by up to 90%. When combined with automatic collision-free path planning online, cycle times can be reduced by as much as 50%. 

 

OmniCore EyeMotion provides a comprehensive framework that integrates everything needed to create 2D and 3D vision applications – from image acquisition and processing to vision-to-robot communication.  

 

Where speed, accuracy, and adaptability are essential and production conditions can change in an instant, OmniCore EyeMotion-enabled robots keep operations productive, safe, and consistent. 

Key benefits

Flexibility

Unique, hardware-agnostic vision software gives robots “eyes” with powerful perception skills, through any camera or sensor. It enables customers to flexibly deploy third-party cameras or sensors.

Simplicity

This software toolbox is fully integrated into the ABB robotics ecosystem and simplifies the setup and programming of vision-based applications by up to 90%. It combines a unique, immediate, and innovative interface for commissioning and configuration, available in RobotStudio and FlexPendant. It is seamlessly integrated with RAPID for expert users and Wizard Easy Programming for novices.

Enhanced autonomy

In more complex applications, OmniCore EyeMotion can be combined with ABB’s unique Automatic Path Planning Online, which can plan and execute the optimum, collision-free paths around obstacles and moving objects in real time, continually and without human intervention, increasing autonomy and reducing cycle times by up to 50%.

Autonomous Versatile Robotics

By granting robots a greater power of sensing, perception and visual reasoning, OmniCore EyeMotion is another milestone in ABB Robotics’ journey towards Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR™). It enables robots to recognize their surroundings, segment objects, and make real-time decisions, enhancing autonomy and versatility.

Benefits for end-users

OmniCore EyeMotion helps end users identify and locate parts in both 2D and 3D part-handling applications. Customers seeking reliable, flexible, and fast solutions to enhance production benefit from its seamless integration.  

 

Unlike conventional robotic vision systems, OmniCore EyeMotion features an intuitive and efficient interface—enabled by its deep integration with ABB robots and automatic, collision-free online path planning online. This powerful combination reduces downtime and can shorten cycle times by up to 50%, driving greater productivity. 

Benefits for system integrators

OmniCore EyeMotion helps system integrators and value providers in deploying ABB robots across a wide range of applications—from simple 2D tasks to complex 3D bin picking. Our partners seek solutions that are easy to configure, flexible, and cost-effective for seamless integration into their systems. 

 

Unlike traditional robotic vision systems, OmniCore EyeMotion offers the freedom to choose the wide range of cameras and sensors, thanks to its unique hardware-agnostic interface. Its intuitive setup enables rapid deployment, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership and significantly faster time to market.
