At InOrbit.AI we're always on the lookout for cutting-edge partners who share our passion for revolutionizing robot operations. Today, we are thrilled to celebrate one of our newest InOrbit Connect partners, Instock. A true trailblazer in the world of goods-to-person solutions, an installation of their flexible, modular Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) is now in use at the InOrbit Robot Space in Mountain View, California.

The InOrbit.AI team had an incredible time at Automate, marking our busiest and most exciting year at the event yet. The show was filled with engaging conversations, insightful presentations, and impressive demos that highlighted the growing demand for advanced robotic operations solutions. Here’s a recap of our fantastic journey at Automate 2024. Yes, it involves lots of pizza.🍕

This week the InOrbit.AI team is hitting the road for Chicago and we couldn’t be more excited. Once again we’ll be at the Association for Advancing Automation, or A3’s premier robotics show, Automate. Visit us on the show floor at booth #3256, and feel free to book a live, remote demo. This is a great opportunity to connect directly with our industry peers developing automation, and those end users looking for the right robotics solution to meet their unique needs. Every year we see this show grow and we’re particularly thrilled to be back in Chicago with our latest innovation on display: InOrbit RobOps Copilot^TM.   

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 InOrbi we want to demystify robotics. Our core business is B2B but we know we're reaching people outside of the "traditional" world of manufacturing and automation. We see it in the comments section on social media, we see it in the people brand new to the space who reach out to us for expert guidance, and we see it every day at the InOrbit Robot Space from average people on the street looking to learn more. Simply put the scope of the robotics landscape is growing as robots become a part of regular people's lives more than ever. We hope the people we connect with will share in our vision for a better world through robots.

At InOrbit we love getting the opportunity to connect directly with customers, industry peers, and each other. There’s a wonderful intimacy that binds us together as advocates for automation when we’re able to meet at events. This is even more important for InOrbit as we are a distributed company that most often works from far-flung cities scattered around the world. This May at Automate 2023, some of our team had a chance to come together in Detroit for one of the biggest robotics events in North America. There we celebrated our achievements, shared our passion for robotics and spoke to everyone we could about the recent strides InOrbit has made, promoting the value of effective robot operations.

We’re very excited today to announce our plans for Automate 2023, which kicks off in Detroit a week from now. The event, run by the Association for Advancing Automation (or A3) is the premier robotics industry conference, and one of our favorites. Last year’s Automate was a true highlight for InOrbit, as it gave us an opportunity to bring our platform and RobOps solutions to a massive and engaged audience. This year we’re thrilled to raise the bar once again as we launch new capabilities specifically for companies deploying robots and for companies building them.

When dealing with robotics, missions mean much more than just a series of tasks strung together. For operators and those managing robots in the field, a mission is a floor that's been cleaned, an aisle that's been scanned, or an item that's been picked. Mission performance is critical to understanding success

At InOrbit, we have been developing missions as a key feature for fleet management. We’ve worked closely with customers who operate robots at scale and need to understand how their fleet is performing. As the definition of a mission may differ from one customer to another, or even within robots in the same fleet, we’ve focused on building an API that can easily adapt to different setups.

In this article, we will dive into the key features that make InOrbit’s mission tracking an invaluable tool for robot development and operations: observability, performance optimization and adaptability. If you already have your robots InOrbit but haven’t used missions yet or if you are exploring the platform, you will learn how this feature can enhance your robot development.

National Robotics Week runs from April 8 - 16, 2023 and the InOrbit Robot Space is excited to invite members of the public to a series of events, meetups, and educational talks during this time to demystify how modern robots are working with society to build a better world. Bay Area residents are encouraged to explore these all-ages hands on robot activities with us at the InOrbit Robot Space, 293 Castro St, Mountain View, California.
