ABB Robotics (Oerlikon, Switzerland) plans to integrate Landai's Deep Learning Vision Software into its own software suite. Industrial robot developers will also be investing private amounts in Landai (Mountain View, CA, USA), according to a joint news release.
The goal of the partnership, which began about 18 months ago, is to speed up new applications involving ABB robots in manufacturing and other industries such as logistics and healthcare.
ABB says it plans to combine ABB's Robotstudio Suite with Landingai's Landinglens to use landing software that customers can use in the first quarter of 2026. ABB claims that the product suite will reduce the time required to train and deploy new robotic applications by up to 80%.
Landinglens, Landingai's flagship product founded in 2017, is a computer vision solution that incorporates deep learning algorithms. The software utilizes application-specific large vision models (LVMs) to support computer vision tasks such as object recognition and image segmentation.
LVM is pre-trained with its own set of images and videos, allowing customers to add their own images to their AI model training process without extensive image signing efforts.

Meanwhile, ABB's Robot Studio is a programming and simulation tool for developing robotic applications such as item picking, sorting, desorption, and quality inspection. Through digital twin and augmented reality technologies, customers can “see” how applications work in real-world production environments.
