ZURICH, March 9 (Reuters) - ABB's ABBN.S robotics business has partnered with Nvidia NVDA.O to narrow the gap between how industrial robots perform in virtual simulations and how they behave on factory floors, the companies said on Monday.

Swiss-based ABB will use Nvidia's Omniverse libraries of simulated data to make its training environments more realistic by incorporating details such as lighting, shadows, and textures.

ABB Robotics President Marc Segura said: "This will save companies a lot of time and money."
