Fanuc Shares Rise on Plan to Team Up With Nvidia
By Kosaku Narioka
Fanuc shares rose sharply after it unveiled a plan to team up with Nvidia to improve industrial robots with the power of artificial intelligence.
Shares were recently 7.8% higher at 5,431 yen, equivalent to $34.93, on Tuesday in Tokyo after rising as much as 9.4% earlier.
The Japanese industrial robot maker said Monday that the company is collaborating with the U.S. technology company to integrate AI with industrial robots.
Fanuc said that its robots will be available in Nvidia's open-source, simulation framework, allowing developers to freely place them in virtual factories to acquire AI learning data, perform simulations, and conduct operation tests.
Fanuc isn't the only company trying to use AI to improve industrial robots.
In October, SoftBank Group agreed to buy Swiss industrial giant ABB's robotics business for $5.4 billion, aiming to combine the potential of AI with robots.
