Inbolt, the robot intelligence company that turns digital twins into live robot control, said that it is launching two new capabilities that complete the company’s AI vision model for robot guidance at Automate 2026 in Chicago.

The company said that it will showcase Inbolt Robot Programming and an expanded Inbolt Robot Control during the event.

Inbolt Robot Programming for one-shot automation

With Robot Programming and Robot Control, Inbolt said that it covers the full path from virtual commissioning to adaptive robot motion control, for stationary and moving-line applications.

"Robot deployment still takes weeks because the digital twin never matches the real factory floor, engineers hand-tune every trajectory during commissioning," said Rudy Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Inbolt. "With Robot Programming, the Vision Model and Robot Control on a single platform, that gap closes; Engineers build the program from the CAD, our vision model locates the real part, and the robot executes the planned path. One platform from perception to motion, on the robots manufacturers already own. That's AI perception built for the factory floor."

Up until now, Inbolt said that deploying a robot on a factory floor often takes weeks as engineers carefully build digital twins of the production line, then spend the commissioning window touching up trajectories point by point because the virtual environment never fully matches reality. If the robot is anchored 2mm off, or parts arrive in unrepeatable positions, every path gets re-taught and tuned by hand.

The company said that its latest release of Inbolt Robot Programming, the programming capability inside Inbolt Studio, removes that step entirely. Engineers build the program directly on the CAD model, in the part's own reference frame. At runtime, the Inbolt Vision Model locates the real part and adjusts the robot's motion to execute the planned path exactly.

“No teach pendant. No iterative tuning. No separate workflow for moving lines,” Cohen said. “Weeks of commissioning now works in one shot. The digital twin and the factory floor are the same thing.”

Inbolt said that the CAD-based release is currently available for FANUC, Universal Robots and Yaskawa on dynamic (moving line) applications, with broader brand coverage on the roadmap.

Inbolt Robot Control and Vision Model updates

Inbolt said that its second product release at Automate is an expansion of Robot Control, the real-time robot motion execution component of the platform. The company said that it is now running natively on Yaskawa, joining:

• FANUC
• KUKA
• ABB
• Universal Robots
• Comau

Inbolt said that Robot Control streams corrected joint commands directly into the robot’s servo loop at native control frequency, closing the loop between what the vision model sees and how the robot moves. The company said that the Yaskawa expansion brings its native robot brand coverage to six, giving manufacturers a single intelligence layer for real-time execution across the brands they already own.

Additionally, Inbolt has also released updates to the Inbolt Vision Model with improved global part localization models. The model now tracks a wider variety of parts, and the Inbolt Studio dashboard exposes part position, detection status and live performance tests for each use case. Robotics engineers can troubleshoot and evaluate Inbolt’s performance on their specific station inside Inbolt Studio.
