Simulation as the Training Ground for Robots

• Training robots before deployment: Nvidia and ABB are partnering to connect Nvidia’s Omniverse simulation platform with ABB’s industrial robotics software, enabling robots to be trained inside digital twins before being deployed in real factories.

• From programming to learning: Manufacturers can use simulated environments to teach robots how to perform tasks, test thousands of scenarios, and transfer those capabilities directly into physical systems.

• The new robotics development cycle: Training robots in simulation shifts automation toward the model of modern AI, where systems improve iteratively through data rather than remaining fixed after deployment.
