American robotics manufacturer Boston Dynamics has announced a new fleet management software as part of efforts to complete its ecosystem of Boston Dynamics robots.
Named Orbit, the software enables users to create a site map drawing of their facility and import this into a digital portal. The software then overlays real-time information about the robots deployed throughout a site.
This provides customers with live robot locations and inspection notifications, while also being fitted with data analytics functions powered by AI.
Through Orbit, users can create, modify and merge different mission recordings into a single map.
On the release, a company spokesperson said: “We’re equipping the modern workforce to fully realise the value of AI to improve safety, predictability and efficiency.
“As our robots keep pushing boundaries for mobility and autonomy, we’re also closing the loop between physical sites and software. With data at their fingertips, our customers are eliminating guesswork, making informed decisions and increasing efficiency.”
The company coupled the Orbit release with enhancements to its Spot mobile robot offering, including new data and autonomous deployment functions.
