Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. will collaborate in promoting the cloud robotics platform “rapyuta.io” provided by Rapyuta Robotics. Solution development and support for overseas expansion, etc.

Rapyuta Robotics Co., Ltd. and Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. will collaborate in promoting the cloud robotics platform “rapyuta.io” provided by Rapyuta Robotics.

The two companies will combine Rapyuta Robotics’ robotics solution development and ease of operation with rapyuta.io and Microsoft’s knowledge of the enterprise cloud market to expand the use of rapyuta.io in a wide range of industries.

“Rapyuta.io” is the world’s first cloud robotics platform that runs on Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s cloud platform.
By utilizing “rapyuta.io”, enterprise users can eliminate complexity and inefficiency and intuitively and easily build and manage solutions.

Below is a quote from the press release

Rapyuta Robotics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO Gajan Mohanarajah) and Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Takuya Hirano) are the cloud robotics platform provided by Rapyuta Robotics. We will cooperate in promoting “rapyuta.io”.

By combining “rapyuta.io”, which accelerates the development and operation of Rapyuta Robotics robot solutions, with Microsoft’s knowledge and eco-system in the enterprise cloud market, the two companies have started logistics, manufacturing, distribution, etc. We will work to expand the use of “rapyuta.io” in a wide range of industries. As a result, companies that have introduced solutions created and operated from “rapyuta.io” will be able to improve the working environment by automating and streamlining work at distribution bases, and solve labor shortages and improve service quality by saving labor. Can be expected.

“Rapyuta.io” is the world’s first enterprise-quality cloud robotics platform that runs on Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s cloud platform. Enterprise users can leverage “rapyuta.io” to eliminate complexity and inefficiency and intuitively and easily build and manage solutions. In addition, since the components already prepared can be used, it is not necessary to build the system components from scratch, and you can concentrate on solving each problem. “Rapyuta.io” realizes collaborative work by multiple robots and robot navigation, and is already used in fields such as logistics, manufacturing, and distribution.

This time, Microsoft Japan will collaborate with Rapyuta Robotics in the following three fields as part of startup support.

Technical cooperation:
Microsoft Japan provides technical support such as cloud infrastructure and AI know-how, including Microsoft headquarters in the United States, to further expand the functions and improve convenience of the “rapyuta.io” platform, and Rapyuta Robotics Provides cloud robotics-related technology and aims to build cutting-edge robotics services whose needs are expected to grow in the future.
Solution development: For
applications such as the “rapyuta.io” platform, warehouse robots and robot arm solutions developed based on “rapyuta.io”, GitHub and Visual Studio Online (applications on rapyuta.io) We will develop a solution that packages various Azure services including various AI services on Azure (use from applications on rapyuta.io, etc.) used from creation / editing / CI / CD) and rapyuta.io packages. .. In the future, we will collaborate with Microsoft Japan’s cloud partner companies to expand its use in the enterprise market, targeting industries such as logistics. In promoting business, we plan to cooperate with the IoT business platform of Nihon Unisys, Ltd.
Expansion into overseas markets:
Microsoft Japan will utilize Microsoft’s global resources to perform business matching and promotion with overseas software and hardware developers, robot integrators and end users, and Rapyuta Robotics aims to achieve this. We support the formation of a market network that stimulates various robotics stakeholders and creates innovation.

that’s all
