en.Wedoany.com Reported - Robot software company Inbolt has introduced two new features for its robot guidance platform: Inbolt Robot Programming and an expanded version of Inbolt Robot Control. The company will showcase these technologies at booth 1675 during the Automate 2026 exhibition, held from June 22 to 25, 2026, in Chicago.
Inbolt states that with Robot Programming and Robot Control, its platform aims to provide virtual commissioning and adaptive robot motion control support for both fixed-line and mobile-line applications. Deploying robots on the factory floor typically takes weeks, as engineers must first build a digital twin of the production line, then adjust trajectories during commissioning when the virtual model does not perfectly match production conditions. If a robot becomes slightly misaligned or part positions change, manual reteaching and path adjustments are often required.
The latest version of Inbolt Robot Programming (the programming feature within Inbolt Studio) is designed to reduce such manual adjustments. Engineers can create programs directly from CAD models in the part's reference coordinate system. During runtime, the Inbolt Vision Model identifies the actual part position and adjusts robot motion to follow the planned path. The CAD-based version is currently available for dynamic mobile-line applications from FANUC, Universal Robots, and Yaskawa, with plans to support more robot brands. Inbolt says two of its four booth demonstrations will showcase the system transition from CAD-based programming to real-time robot motion.
Inbolt's second product update expands Robot Control (the platform's real-time robot motion execution component) to run natively on Yaskawa robots. Yaskawa joins FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Universal Robots, and Comau. Robot Control sends corrected joint commands directly to the robot's servo loop at the controller's native frequency, linking vision-based part detection with robot motion. With the addition of Yaskawa, Inbolt now supports six robot brands through the same real-time control layer.
Inbolt has also updated the Inbolt Vision Model with modifications to its part localization model. The updated model is designed to track a wider range of parts, and the Inbolt Studio dashboard now displays part position, detection status, and real-time performance tests for each use case. The company says robot engineers can use Inbolt Studio to evaluate system performance and troubleshoot applications for specific workstations.
Inbolt's booth at Automate will feature four live demonstrations focused on common factory automation tasks: real-time unstructured bin picking using a robot-mounted 3D vision system on a Universal Robots system, without the need for fixtures or part presentation devices; dynamic dispensing on a moving engine on a conveyor belt using a FANUC CRX collaborative robot, while showcasing Inbolt Robot Programming; real-time workpiece tracking on a dedicated workstation using a FANUC CRX, also with Inbolt Robot Programming; and depalletizing parts using a FANUC CRX.
Inbolt's technology will also be demonstrated at the FANUC main booth, where a CRX-20iA/L collaborative robot performs bolt tightening on a moving engine block. This application combines Inbolt's robot guidance technology with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin processing. As parts move along a bidirectional conveyor, the robot tracks motion and tightens bolts without stopping the line. Inbolt will also conduct a joint demonstration with integration partner GCG at FANUC's collaborative robot booth.
Inbolt co-founder and COO Albane Dersy will host a panel discussion titled "The Next Era of Industrial Automation: AI, Robotics, and Flexible Manufacturing" on Monday, June 22, from 12:15 PM to 12:45 PM. The discussion will cover physically accurate simulation, synthetic data, simulation-to-real skill transfer in robot development, and the role of industrial robots and collaborative robots in more adaptable manufacturing systems.
