As the year comes to an end, we wanted to take some time, as we always like to do, and reflect on the past 12 months. 2024 has been a year of breakthrough innovation for robotics, with advancements in artificial intelligence and the growing need for seamless integration between diverse technologies driving significant progress across the industry. At InOrbit, we've been at the forefront of this evolution, focusing on key areas: empowering intelligent robot operations (RobOps) through AI and building deeper, more meaningful connections with partners across the robotics ecosystem.

InOrbit is thrilled to join ARME’s groundbreaking endeavor, ARii (ARME Robotics Interoperability Initiative). As recently announced, this project, driven by the motto "Any robot. Any fleet manager. Fully integrated within any process," is set to make waves in the robotics industry. 🌊ARii aims to enhance interoperability among diverse robotic systems, addressing key challenges like standardizing map representations, managing multi-level maps, and defining traffic rules.

We’re buzzing with excitement and couldn't wait to share some fantastic news with you all. InOrbit.AI has been named a 2024 Gartner Cool Vendor in Logistics and Robotics Technology! ❄️

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, businesses across every industry are on the cusp of a seismic shift—one driven by the convergence of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). The mutually reinforcing impact of these technologies is resulting in an acceleration in the pace of innovation, often beyond companies’ abilities to assimilate or even keep up with these changes.

This November, we had the incredible opportunity to join our new partners at Globant for Converge. Converge is a tech event for game changers—an annual global summit that brings together visionaries, daring thought leaders, and influential speakers at the forefront of technology. It features inspiring talks about the future of software development, the essential role of AI authenticity, and the emergence of integrated experiences, challenging brave thinkers to push the limits in this fast-paced era.

At InOrbitAI, a broad, multi-vendor, multi-system perspective has always been championed. Now, the platform has received a major upgrade with a series of robot-based customizations. 

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.
