Integrating with ROS is a great opportunity to make ABB the preferred industrial robot vendor for ROS users and to increase the market reach of our digital offerings in the future.” At ABB, we also believe that openness is the best way to win new innovative partners and customers of the future. Roger said “ROS helps ABB stay relevant in the fast pacing world of industrial robotics. One of the primary reasons for ABB to support ROS was to enable system integrators and universities to integrate their ROS based robotic applications with ABB’s proprietary robotic controllers. With the growing ROS community and the increased adoption of ROS on industrial robots, ROS on Windows enables Microsoft to bring the innovations of edge computing to robots.Īt ABB, the recent wave of adoption of ROS by the open-source community, motivated Roger Kullang, the Chief Engineer Software Products at ABB to explore ways in which he could create and use ROS packages to augment the robot controller with additional capabilities. Microsoft is committed to meeting our customers where they are at. The robotic controllers runs the RobotWare software, which provides motion control, hardware integrations, multi-tasking and programmability enabling the precision, speed and synchronization of robots.Īt Microsoft, the Edge Robotics team ported Robot Operating System - ROS™ 1 on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and Windows 10 Desktop in May, 2019. The offline simulation environment uses a virtual controller which mimics a real controller enabling realistic simulations during development. The RobotStudio is ABB’s programming and configuration software including an offline simulation environment. ABB today has over 400,000 robotic solutions deployed world-wide across diverse verticals like automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing etc boosting industrial productivity, reducing labor and energy costs and ensuring a healthy and safe working environment for humans.ĪBB offers a slew of industrial robots like the collaborative robots, paint robots and robotic arms along with their proprietary software such as the Robostudio and Robotic controllers.
ABB Robotics is a market leader and a technology fore-runner in the robotics space.
