Fanuc partners with Nvidia to accelerate physical AI in industrial robotics

by

Strategic collaboration combines Fanuc’s global robotics leadership with Nvidia AI computing and simulation platforms to deliver intelligent, adaptable automation for the factory of the future

Fanuc, the world’s leading supplier of industrial robots and factory automation systems, is collaborating with Nvidia to advance physical AI – a new paradigm that merges artificial intelligence with physical robotics to enable machines that see, reason, and act in dynamic environments.

Under this collaboration, Fanuc will leverage Nvidia AI infrastructure, including Nvidia Jetson edge modules, cloud/edge AI infrastructure, Nvidia Isaac Sim open robotic simulation framework and Nvidia Omniverse libraries, within its extensive robot portfolio and RoboGuide simulation software.

Microsoft Research unveils Rho-alpha robotics model combining vision, language, and touch

by

Microsoft Research has announced Rho-alpha, a new robotics model designed to help robots understand natural language instructions and carry out complex physical tasks in less structured environments.

The model, derived from Microsoft’s Phi series of vision-language models, is being made available through the company’s Research Early Access Program. According to Microsoft, Rho-alpha is intended to advance a new generation of robotics systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting in dynamic real-world settings.

For decades, robots have performed best in tightly controlled environments such as factories and warehouses, where tasks are predictable and carefully scripted. Recent advances in agentic AI, however, are enabling new “vision-language-action” models that allow physical systems to operate with greater autonomy.

Flexiv and Nvidia bridge the sim-to-real gap in adaptive robotics

by

Flexiv, a developer of general-purpose robotics solutions, has released the Flexiv-Isaac Bridge App, bringing high-fidelity force-control simulation to Nvidia’s Isaac Sim.  (See video below.)

This partnership enables robotics developers and end-users to program, model, test, and deploy complex force-controlled, AI-empowered robotics applications in simulated environments that closely mimic contact-rich real-world conditions.

To highlight this new capability, Flexiv’s engineering team released a video in which a simulated Rizon 4 robot completed the classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle in Isaac Sim. [Read more…] about Flexiv and Nvidia bridge the sim-to-real gap in adaptive robotics
