FANUC Advances Physical AI in Industrial Robots Using NVIDIA Technology

FANUC announced a strategy with NVIDIA to bring Physical AI to industrial robots.

What happened

On March 16, 2026, FANUC announced it would integrate NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure — Jetson, Isaac Sim and Omniverse — with its robots and ROBOGUIDE software. The company also plans to standardize ROS 2 drivers and Python support, and to enable robot operation by voice command and code generation.

Why it matters

FANUC said integrating NVIDIA’s Jetson, Isaac Sim and Omniverse with its industrial robots and ROBOGUIDE will let factories check operations and process coordination in a virtual environment before deploying equipment. The company also outlined plans to standardize ROS 2 drivers and Python support, making configuration changes easier through voice instructions and code generation.
