InOrbit is conducting live, multi-vendor AMR orchestration demonstrations at Automate 2026 in Chicago.
InOrbit.AI, a provider of enterprise robot orchestration platforms, unveiled what it called a “world’s first” AMR interoperability showcase at Automate 2026 in Chicago,
The company said that its platforms help enterprises connect islands of automation into efficient and resilient operations. The orchestration demo, organized in collaboration with the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), brings together eight robotics companies from around the world, including:
InOrbit said that the need for orchestration is accelerating across industries, as companies adopt robots with distinct form factors, capabilities and protocols across sites.
The company said that InOrbit Space Intelligence serves as the unifying, AI-powered orchestration for the physical world, connecting with enterprise systems, integrating different vendors’ native fleet management systems, dispatching robots to execute complex missions and coordinating the actions of every robot in real time.
"Enterprises are facing the automation paradox: as they deploy robots at scale, complexity increases, preventing them from achieving agility," said Florian Pestoni, CEO of InOrbit.AI and a member of the Robotics 24/7 Executive Advisory Board. "Today, we are demonstrating the future of the sentient enterprise in action, bridging the gap between business intent and physical execution with partners from around the world."
Until now, InOrbit said that robotics systems have operated in isolation. Separate fleet management systems, incompatible protocols, siloed data and high integration cost create coordination bottlenecks that erode the expected return on automation investment and prevent scaling.
The company said that InOrbit Space Intelligence addresses this challenge as an enterprise-grade orchestration platform that sits above individual vendor systems, providing unified command and control across multi-vendor robot fleets and IoT infrastructure; the InOrbit Business Execution System (BES) that translates enterprise system orders from WMS, ERP, and MES into optimized robotic execution; real-time spatial awareness, traffic management and task deconfliction across heterogeneous fleets.
"As more robotics companies enter the market, the next phase of automation growth will be driven by interoperability and seamless coordination between diverse robotic platforms," said Jeff Burnstein, president of A3. "At Automate 2026 in Chicago, June 22-25, we will showcase for the first time a live demonstration of federated orchestration powered by InOrbit.AI with robots from around the world."
InOrbit said that the demonstration serves as a practical reference for the upcoming ISO/DIS 21423 standard, which defines a common communication framework enabling robots, fleet managers and enterprise systems from different vendors to interoperate.
Unlike earlier standards focused primarily on centralized control models, the company said that ISO 21423 embraces the federated orchestration architecture pioneered by InOrbit, where multiple fleet managers and robots can coexist and coordinate.
Pestoni said that he actively contributed to the ISO working group that developed this standard, which is currently in its ballot period and is expected to be published later this year.
InOrbit said that managing the complexity of physical operations requires intelligence. Also at Automate, the company is showcasing the latest evolution of InOrbit RobOps Copilot, an agentic AI overlay that enables operations teams to manage robot operations end-to-end through natural language, including voice commands.
Rather than navigating multiple vendor dashboards, InOrbit said that operators can define robot behavior, get real-time data, analyze performance, trigger robot missions and generate reports by simply stating their intent.
"The InOrbit RobOps Copilot changes the conversation from 'how do I operate these robots' to 'what do I need the operation to achieve,'" said Ramiro Diaz Trepat, CTO of InOrbit.AI. "It's intent over specification, bringing the power of enterprise robot orchestration to every member of the operations team, regardless of their technical background."
As a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, InOrbit.AI said that it utilizes NVIDIA technology for a range of workloads, such as NVIDIA Thor hardware for inference at the edge, to NVIDIA Metropolis for visual AI agents. As physical AI expands into more applications and form factors, the company said that safety must remain a primary concern.
InOrbit.AI said that it integrates certified functional safety offerings from its global ecosystem, such as InnoTech SafeGuard and NVIDIA Halos, utilizing outside-in intelligence to augment native capabilities and enhance real-time spatial awareness.
"Collaborative robots shouldn't just collaborate with humans, they should collaborate with every other robot on the factory floor,” said Rishabh Agarwal, founder and CEO, Peer Robotics.
“Being part of this interoperability demo with InOrbit.AI shows that the next frontier of automation is about different robots working together in harmony. For end users, this kind of seamless multi-vendor orchestration removes the biggest barrier to scaling automation."
