Robot programming made faster, easier, and more accessible

Powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) that understands and interprets human language, RobotStudio AI Assistant draws from ABB’s comprehensive library of manuals and documentation to deliver high-quality, context-rich responses to questions, enabling users to set up faster and find rapid answers to questions and technical challenges.  

Questions and answers

RobotStudio AI Assistant helps programmers using RobotStudio to increase their productivity and robot programming skills and to complete advanced programming tasks more easily. The RobotStudio AI Assistant enables users to progress faster with RAPID code programming by providing step-by-step instructions and prompts, whilst answering questions with real-time responses. It can guide you to solve various tasks in RobotStudio itself, by providing a simple description of how to accomplish them.  

 

An integrated large language model supports a deep understanding of the technology, enabling RobotStudio’s AI assistant to provide rich responses to users’ questions, and assisting them with a broad range of programming tasks. 

RobotStudio AI Assistant brings ABB’s industry-leading RobotStudio Suite to more users. The AI assistant supports users to complete basic and advanced programming tasks and to get to grips with RAPID code programming faster. Its real-time, step-by-step instructions are easy to follow and accessible for novice users, whilst the AI assistant helps experienced users to solve problems and address complex programming tasks. A large language model supports deeper understanding, with natural language answers, whilst RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) scans ABB’s document library to provide insight and context.

RobotStudio AI Assistant is part of the RobotStudio Premium subscription. Try RobotStudio with AI assistant free for 30 days or sign up to the RobotStudio premium subscription.

RobotStudio AI Assistant will be part of the upcoming RobotStudio release in September and after the user has updated RobotStudio to the latest version, the AI assistant will become available. 

Users still need a baseline understanding of robotics to use RobotStudio. The AI Assistant will help them to carry out some of the more advanced  

programming tasks and help them learn how to use RAPID code programming faster. Users will be able to find answers to some of the trickier programming tasks that they come across less frequently and this could make a difference to the complexity of programming they are able to carry out. However,  

RobotStudio AI Assistant cannot program a robot entirely by itself without knowledge and input from a user. 

ABB Robotics can provide education licenses to universities and schools so that young people can use RobotStudio when learning to program robots. Using  

RobotStudio on a desktop, with the AI assistant, will help speed up learning for young programmers, helping them to become proficient in RAPID code programming faster. This can give students a head start as they begin their  

robot programming journey. 

Whilst many businesses in our sector are incorporating AI into their products and services, RobotStudio AI Assistant is unique as a programming enablement tool, which allows users to employ the broad range of technologies available in the RobotStudio Suite. It is lowering the barrier to incorporating programming, robotics, and autonomation into daily processes for many businesses. 

The AI assistant supports multilingual interaction, allowing you to communicate in your preferred language, whether it's Swedish, Spanish, Japanese, or any other language. You can ask questions, give commands, and receive responses in the language you're most comfortable with.
