ZURICH, ⁠March 9 (Reuters) - ABB's ⁠robotics business has ‌partnered with Nvidia to narrow the gap between ​how industrial ⁠robots perform ⁠in virtual simulations and ⁠how they ‌behave on factory ⁠floors, the companies said ​on ‌Monday.

Swiss-based ABB will ⁠use Nvidia's ​Omniverse libraries of simulated data ⁠to make its ​training environments more realistic by incorporating details ⁠such as lighting, shadows, and textures.

ABB Robotics President Marc ​Segura ⁠said: "This will save ​companies a ‌lot of time ​and money."
