ABB Robotics plans 15,000-square-metre centre in Sabadell

ABB Robotics is building a new centre in Sabadell, near Barcelona.

It will bring together engineering, software, robotics and training, and is expected to employ about 185 people.

The centre will also support work on robots and automation for factories.

The project is part of SoftBank’s plan to connect artificial intelligence with machines that can operate in the physical world.
