ABB and Covariant have partnered to develop a robust AI solution capable of supporting autonomous materials handling, enabling robots to handle items of infinite variety. The Covariant Brain is a universal AI that allows robots to see, reason and act in the world around them, completing tasks too complex and varied for traditional programmed robots. The growing demand for e-commerce fulfilment services and the complex and labor-intensive nature of the process offers unique potential for intelligent automation.
The partnership brings together the two companies with a shared vision for robotics enabled by AI, where intelligent robots work alongside humans in dynamic environments, collectively learning and improving with every task completed. Together, ABB and Covariant are creating AI Robotics solutions for customers worldwide, starting with a fully autonomous warehouse order fulfilment solution.
