We're excited to announce that InOrbit has joined the Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA), a milestone in our commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation within the robotics community.

At InOrbit, we're more than just providers of cutting-edge RobOps solutions; we're active participants in the vibrant community of innovators and thought leaders shaping the future of robotics. Recently, we had the pleasure of attending two of the industry's premier events: MODEX 2024 and GTC. These shows provided us with an invaluable opportunity to connect with partners and customers, delving into the operational benefits of effective data and fleet management. Join us as we take a glimpse into the InOrbit experience and the connections we made along the way.

It was February 2023 when the InOrbit Robot Space opened its doors and what a journey it has been! In the span of a year, this space has transformed from a bold idea into a hub of technological innovation and community engagement. As we celebrate our first anniversary, we're thrilled to reflect on the incredible milestones we've achieved together and look forward to the exciting possibilities ahead.

InOrbit, in collaboration with Ekumen and NVIDIA, recently announced some exciting advancements in bringing RobOps to simulations. This work leverages the NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ extensible robotics simulator powered by NVIDIA Omniverse™, blending dynamic 3D simulation technology with real-world automation environments, all managed by the InOrbit platform. Bringing these two domains together, effectively bridging simulation to reality and leveraging InOrbit for multi-vendor robot operations, is no easy task. Today we explore the Sim-to-Real gap with InOrbit’s Sr. Robotics Engineer Florencia Grosso (Flor).

As robotics continues to evolve, addressing more use cases across many industries, it is critical to apply the best practices for robot operations, or RobOps. Modeled on DevOps, RobOps is a set of principles, processes and tools that guide robot manufacturers, operators and end users in the development and deployment of robots at scale. 

Simulations have been a potent tool in robotics for some time now. Companies particularly rely on sims for reinforcement learning to train robots. Effective simulations can help drive continuous improvements in production workflows, orchestrate robots and other technologies, and mitigate the often costly impact of traffic jams. While many robotics companies use simulation tools, nothing provides the dynamic opportunity to visualize robots in such an exciting way as NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim™. Today we’re thrilled to unveil an integration of this powerful simulation tool with the InOrbit RobOps platform.

Today, we pull back the curtain on what charges us up at the InOrbit Robot Space. It powers our multi-vendor robot fleet during live demos, making our RobOps platform and our partner's robots truly shine. Today our spotlight turns to the incredible tech from our partners at WiBotic.

As the seasons change, so does InOrbit, and today we are thrilled to share some exciting news—the InOrbit family has grown! With new teammates joining our ranks and familiar faces stepping into new roles, the spirit of innovation and collaboration continues to thrive within our amazing RobOps platform and service.

Today is definitely an exciting day for us at InOrbit. You may have seen our press release announcing the latest advancements with InOrbit missions as well as the expansion of our InOrbit Connect ecosystem to a host of new partners. These developments mark a milestone for the InOrbit platform as we have an answer to user demand for end-to-end orchestration.

At the recent InOrbit Connect Live event, attendees with a keen interest in robotics for supply chain and logistics were in for a treat. The event featured a lineup of experts from industry-leading companies, including Kärcher, Instock, and SICK, who showcased innovative products for automation and infrastructure. However, the highlight of the event was a panel discussion on "Robot Operations in the Supply Chain." This insightful conversation delved deep into the latest technologies, strategies, and the benefits of effective RobOps in the supply chain industry.
