InOrbit.AI Unveils Multi-Vendor Robot Orchestration at Automate 2026, Demonstrating the Future of Physical AI

At the Automate 2026 show in Chicago, InOrbit.AI has unveiled a landmark demonstration of Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) interoperability, showcasing how its Space Intelligence platform can unify disparate robotic systems from multiple vendors into a single, coordinated operational ecosystem. The live demonstration, organized in collaboration with the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), features robots from eight international companies: Ati Robotics, InOrbit.AI, Kärcher, Neura Robotics, Omron, Peer Robotics, Quasi Robotics, and Unitree. Over 50,000 attendees are expected to witness how InOrbit's orchestration layer bridges the gap between isolated islands of automation and a truly sentient enterprise.

Solving the Automation Paradox

Enterprises are increasingly deploying robots with different form factors, capabilities, and protocols, but this diversity creates complexity that undermines the agility automation promises. "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. "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." InOrbit Space Intelligence serves as an enterprise-grade orchestration platform that sits above individual vendor systems, providing unified command and control, real-time spatial awareness, traffic management, and task deconfliction across heterogeneous fleets.

Supporting the New ISO Standard for Federated Orchestration

The demonstration serves as a practical reference for the upcoming ISO/DIS 21423 standard, which defines a common communication framework for multi-vendor robot interoperability. Unlike earlier standards that focused on centralized control, ISO 21423 embraces a federated orchestration architecture where multiple fleet managers and robots can coexist and coordinate. InOrbit's CEO, Florian Pestoni, actively contributed to the ISO working group that developed this standard, which is currently in its ballot period and expected to be published later this year.

Agentic AI and Voice Command Overlay

InOrbit is also showcasing the latest evolution of its RobOps Copilot, an Agentic AI overlay that allows operations teams to manage robot operations through natural language, including voice commands. "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." The platform leverages NVIDIA technology—including NVIDIA Thor hardware for edge inference and NVIDIA Metropolis for Visual AI agents—and integrates certified functional safety solutions from partners like InnoTech SafeGuard and NVIDIA Halos.

Global Robotics Leaders Endorse Interoperability

The participating companies represent a cross-section of the global automation industry, each highlighting the importance of seamless coordination. "Our long-term collaboration with InOrbit.AI enables seamless orchestration of our KIRA cleaning robots alongside robots from other manufacturers," said Marco Cardinale, CTO of Kärcher. "For Kärcher, connected cleaning means being part of a larger, intelligent automation ecosystem." Saurabh Chandra, CEO of Ati Robotics, added, "The future of industrial automation will not be defined by a single robot or standalone system, but by intelligent orchestration across an ecosystem of autonomous technologies." Peer Robotics' founder Rishabh Agarwal noted that "seamless multi-vendor orchestration removes the biggest barrier to scaling automation," while Quasi Robotics' CEO Vlad Lebedev emphasized that such interoperability allows businesses to build flexible, multi-purpose automation setups. Unitree Robotics' Jo Chou concluded, "When robots from around the world can be orchestrated together, the possibilities for real-world applications multiply dramatically."

A Growing Ecosystem

InOrbit.AI, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, continues to expand its InOrbit Connect ecosystem, which now encompasses over 30 robot brands. The company's orchestration platform translates enterprise system orders from WMS, ERP, and MES into optimized robotic execution, connecting islands of automation into a unified, resilient operational framework. The Automate 2026 demonstration runs from June 22-25 in Chicago.
