Episode 109 | The Operating System for Robots: InOrbit's AI-Powered Robot Orchestration

Florian shares his journey from cryptography researcher to big tech product leader — at companies like Microsoft, Adobe, and Facebook — and how that experience inspired him to tackle one of robotics’ biggest challenges: making robots work together seamlessly across diverse fleets and environments.

From interoperability and observability to performance and safety, this episode explores how InOrbit.AI is building the connective tissue of the robotics world — a “Google Translate for robots” that enables smarter, safer, and more efficient automation at scale.

Highlights:

- Florian’s journey from research in cryptography to leadership roles in major tech companies, and what inspired him to build something from the ground up.

- Explaining robot orchestration — helping organizations connect, monitor, and manage fleets of diverse robots across the world.

- Florian breaks down InOrbit’s approach
Observability – Know what’s happening
Operation – Manage and act on it
Orchestration – Coordinate across systems
Optimization – Continuously improve performance

- Letting robots “speak” any language rather than forcing one universal standard.

- Florian’s philosophy of continuous improvement — for both humans and machines — and how AI powers real-time insights in robotics.
