…see robots in operation and even get hands-on experience. InOrbit Inc., which provides software and support for robot operations, or RobOps, has successfully hosted a number of community events this summer. In February, the company opened the InOrbit Robot Space at 293 Castro St. in Mountain View, Calif. Since then, InOrbit has hosted meetings around National Robotics Week, a summer camp group, and a free Women in Robotics event last week. Having a permanent venue in Silicon Valley to see autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) at work and to learn about industry tools for RobOps can help the public understand the…

Florian Pestoni, CEO of InOrbit Inc., said he has noticed a change in the past year. Large users of autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, are increasingly mandating that their systems must be interoperable with other robots. Warehouses often have challenges integrating robots into their warehouse management systems (WMS), and it doesn't help that each robot vendor has its own software package. The dream of interoperability is that it will streamline the setup and monitoring process for customers. “I think all of a sudden, everyone is highly incentivized to figure out how to make their robot play nice with other systems,”…

…includes a number of robotics and software vendors, including InOrbit, Vecna Robotics, and Locus Robotics. Their stated intent is to enable any company to deploy robots and other equipment that can work together in the same warehouse or factory space. Initially, the working group decided to keep the protocol simple so all companies could easily adopt it. As such, it focused on sharing basic robot-to-robot information rather than task management. “Another piece of software, such as a fleet management system, can understand what robots are doing, and every vendor has one,” Ryden said. “This is not a task management type…
