Boston Dynamics Orbit
Connect Boston Dynamics Orbit to sync Spot robots into Robomap and import missions.
What it does
Connect a Boston Dynamics Orbit instance for Spot robots: list robots as Robomap devices, show status and mission context, and import mission runs / anomalies into Robomap data views.
Official Orbit API concepts: Orbit API.
Get an Orbit API token
- Sign in to your Orbit web UI.
- Open Settings → Developer Features → API.
- Create an API token.
- Note your Orbit site URL (for example
https://orbit.example.com).
Connect in Robomap
- Go to Account → Integrations → Boston Dynamics.
- Enter the Orbit site URL and API token → Connect. The token is stored encrypted.
- Click Sync robots to pull Spot robots and optionally create Robomap devices.
- Click Import missions to pull recent runs and anomaly counts into local import records (visible on the integration page and usable by data views).
Troubleshooting
- Connect fails — confirm the Orbit URL is reachable from Robomap and the API token is active.
- TLS / certificate errors — production Orbit should use a valid certificate. Lab instances with self-signed certs require administrator configuration; do not disable TLS verification on production.
- Robots missing after sync — run Sync robots again; verify robots appear in Orbit’s own inventory first.
