Inbolt Launches Vision-Enabled Robot Programming, Closing the Loop from CAD to Factory Floor

DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2026--

Inbolt, the robot intelligence company that turns digital twins into live robot control, is launching two new capabilities that complete the company’s AI vision model for robot guidance: Inbolt Robot Programming and an expanded Inbolt Robot Control. The launch pad is Booth #1675 at Automate 2026 in Chicago, June 22-25.

"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, CEO and Co-founder 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."

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

Up until now, 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 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,” said Cohen. “Weeks of commissioning now works in one shot. The digital twin and the factory floor are the same thing.”

The CAD-based release is available today for FANUC, Universal Robots and Yaskawa on dynamic (moving line) applications, with broader brand coverage on the roadmap. Two of Inbolt’s four booth demonstrations will run it live, so visitors can watch the system go from CAD to executable robot motion in front of them.

Building on US momentum
Inbolt’s 20x20 ft Automate booth marks the company’s largest US showcase to date. “Automate in Chicago is where we plant our flag in the US,” said Albane Dersy, COO and Co-founder of Inbolt. “Four live demos, two product launches, a deep integration with FANUC and NVIDIA on the show floor, and a panel on the future of physical AI. Our US footprint has expanded across Stellantis, GM, and Toyota plants this year, our team has doubled, and the US contingent doubles again by year-end.”

Inbolt Robot Control adds Yaskawa
Inbolt’s second product release is an expansion of Robot Control, the real-time robot motion execution component of the platform, now running natively on Yaskawa, joining FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Universal Robots, and Comau. 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 Yaskawa expansion brings Inbolt’s native robot brand coverage to six, giving manufacturers a single intelligence layer for real-time execution across the brands they already own.

Updates to the Inbolt Vision Model
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.

Four live demos at Booth #1675
Inbolt’s booth runs four live demonstrations at Automate, covering the most common automation challenges on the factory floor today:

Real-time bolt tightening at FANUC’s main booth and cobot booth
Inbolt’s technology will also run on FANUC’s main booth, where a CRX-20iA/L collaborative robot performs real-time bolt tightening on a moving engine block. The application combines Inbolt’s robot intelligence with NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ processing. As parts travel along a bi-directional conveyor, the robot tracks the motion and tightens without stopping the line. It’s a concrete view of continuous, vision-guided assembly running in production conditions. Inbolt will also be featured on FANUC’s Cobot Booth, running a joint demonstration with integrator partner GCG.

Albane Dersy moderates panel on next era
Inbolt Co-founder and COO Albane Dersy will moderate the panel titled The Next Era of Industrial Automation: AI, Robotics, and Flexible Manufacturing on Monday, June 22, 12:15- 12:45 PM. The discussion covers physically accurate simulation, synthetic data, simulation-to-real skill transfer in robot development, and how industrial and collaborative robots are pushing factories beyond fixed automation toward adaptive production.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are hanging near their records Wednesday as oil prices fall and ease the pressure on households and businesses worldwide.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.2% from its all-time high set the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 172 points, or 0.3%, as of noon Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.3% lower.

Stocks of companies with big fuel bills helped lead the way on hopes that lower oil prices will remove a big drag on their profits. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings climbed 4.4%, and United Airlines rallied 6.6%. Delta Air Lines rose 4.1% and is on track to set an all-time high.

The price for a barrel of Brent crude oil fell 3.4% to $96.19 after the ceasefire between the United States and Iran appeared to hold despite the U.S. military launching what it called “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran. A barrel of benchmark U.S. crude fell even more, 4.2%, to $89.96 on hopes that the United States and Iran can reach an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow oil tankers to exit the Persian Gulf for deliveries again.

Stocks have been able to run to records despite the painful inflation and uncertainty caused by high oil prices largely because companies have reported surprisingly strong profits for the start of 2026, and the forecast is for them to continue.

Bath & Body Works rallied 10.4%, and Abercrombie & Fitch climbed 12.1% after both reported bigger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. That's even as U.S. consumers continue to say they're feeling discouraged about the economy and inflation.

Lululemon Athletica rose 4% after reaching a deal with its founder, Chip Wilson, where it will add a former chief marketing officer of ESPN and a former co-CEO of On to its board of directors.

On the losing side of Wall Street was Dick's Sporting Goods, which dropped 4.1% despite delivering a profit for the latest quarter that edged past expectations. Analysts pointed to how much profit it wrung out of each $1 in revenue, which some called a bit weak.

Oil-and-gas stocks also sank, hurt by the dropping prices for crude. Exxon Mobil fell 1.2%, and Chevron slipped 0.9%. Halliburton dropped 4.8% to bring its gain for the year so far back toward 40%.

In the bond market, Treasury yields eased after falling oil prices took pressure off inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 4.48% from 4.50% late Tuesday and from 4.67% roughly a week ago.

It’s a respite following recent gains for yields in bond markets worldwide, which threatened to slow economies and undercut prices for stocks and all kinds of other investments. High yields have already forced the average long-term U.S. mortgage rate to its most expensive level since last summer, and they could curtail companies’ borrowing to build the artificial-intelligence data centers that have supported the U.S. economy’s growth recently.

In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed across Europe and Asia. South Korea's Kospi was one of the world's best performers and jumped 2.3% after SK Hynix, which is a big beneficiary of the artificial-intelligence boom, soared 9.3%.

A day before, Micron Technology surged to become the latest Big Tech company to be worth more than $1 trillion on AI excitement. Its stock has more than tripled already in 2026, and analysts at UBS said Tuesday it could soar even more because of how fundamentally AI has improved demand for computer memory.
