en.Wedoany.com Reported - FANUC announced a strategic partnership with Google to accelerate the development of Physical AI Robot Systems, strengthening its open platform and physical AI capabilities to support industrial automation goals. As part of this collaboration, FANUC has developed a physical AI system for industrial robots, integrating the latest technologies from Google Cloud, including Gemini Enterprise, an enterprise-grade generative AI tool with high security.

Physical AI refers to the integration of cognitive intelligence with physical actions, including robots capable of sensing their environment through sensors, making autonomous decisions, and executing tasks. FANUC robots support ROS, the industry-standard open platform for robot control, for which Google serves as a key contributor and maintainer through its Intrinsic robotics AI team. FANUC's product portfolio is also broadly compatible with commonly used technologies, including the Python programming language for AI development, high-speed communication interfaces for external robot control, and interfaces for easy operation via PLC interfaces.

Since the launch of the FANUC Physical AI System at an international robotics exhibition last December, customer interest has continued to grow, with over 1,000 FANUC robots delivered for physical AI-related applications. During a new product open house event in May, the company showcased a next-generation physical AI robot system featuring the integration of generative AI Gemini, capable of understanding human instructions, recognizing objects, and autonomously controlling FANUC robots to perform designated tasks. This AI-driven agent system for industrial robots enables collaborative and non-collaborative robots to work together as a unified unit based on simple natural language instructions.

FANUC also provides comprehensive support for robot control compatible with Flowstate, the development environment from Intrinsic. The Flowstate software is interoperable with ROS and allows for rapid development of highly adaptable AI solutions using FANUC's open platform technology. Additionally, FANUC has joined Google DeepMind's "Gemini Robotics Trusted Tester Program" to advance research into AI foundation models for robotics.
